Lyrics
The Nashville Way
By: Scott Hisey & Ron Vincent
It sounds like country music’s been dealin’ with the man downstairs
Sellin’ her soul to pop radio and no one seems to care
The old time fans are tunin’ her out these youngin’s ain’t got a clue
Of what real country music meant to me and you
CHORUS:
Been playin’ my songs on Broadway payin’ my dues the hard way
But you can drive for weeks with your radio on and never hear ‘em play
Staff writers keep writin’ the same cliches
That the pluggers keep pluggin’ away
There ain’t no room for a new point of view
It’s all done THE NASHVILLE WAY
Music Square stays busy keepin’ us poor boys out
Don’t they understand that a strugglin’ man is livin’ what he’s singing about
When your dealin’ in emotion like music is supposed to be
The Nashville music factory don’t do it for me
CHORUS: (Repeat)
TAG:
No more smoke filled bars and steel guitars
No more Hag and Jones a carryin’ on
Heaven help the boys that make the noise
It’s now done THE NASHVILLE WAY
