EAST NASHVILLE (Joe Ryan 6/2012)
V
A sky lined in silver Streets paved in gold
On a Greyhound to Nashville I turned 19 years old
Dreamin bout money The women and the fame
Got a second hand Fender And a pocket full of change
V
Found a small flat On the east side of town
Where visions of stardom Lay scattered around
These songwriter suburbs Filled with the dreams
Of mailbox money And black limosuines
Ch
Steel guitars echo through the hilltops
Fiddles gently whisper through the trees
Pray that fame can find me here in Nashville
Living in East Nashville Tennessee
V
Sweepin out a warehouse Ten hours a day
Ain't no good living Barely pays my way
Nights playin this Fender Living on the dream
Of mailbox money And black limousines
Ch
Steel guitars echo through the hilltops
Fiddles gently whisper through the trees
Pray that fame can find me here in Nashville
Living in East Nashville Tennessee
Br
These smoky eastside bars Have launched a thousand stars
Ain't no way I'm ever going home
(Out)
A sky lined in silver Streets paved in gold
On the east side of Nashville
