Story behind the song
I wrote this during and inspirational period with a few others from the album. Basically expressing the desire to do some with my music and yet realizing that it was a path I had turned down once before.
Lyrics
Baby thinks I'm lazy - I know she thinks I'm crazy I'm playin' on my guitar all night long I'm playin' at the White Swan - I got my cowboy shirt on I'm playin' blues and country from dusk til dawn And I'm determined as I can be I got the Need to Get to Nashville Blues. Maybe I'm a dreamer - My lady she's a screamer The house needs paintin' and the lawn needs mowed But still I play my music - there ain't no talkin' to it When I get the call I'm headed down the road And I'm determined as I can be I got the Need to Get to Nashville Blues. Chorus When I get to Nashville you know I won't be bashful Gonna play my music - gonna sing my songs But if I fail to make it - you know that I can take I gotta take the chance - you know it can't be wrong I wonder what she's thinkin' when I do all this drinkin' She's prob'ly mad as hell but I don't care at all I wonder how she take it - especially if I make it My bags are packed and ready when I get that call And I'm determined as I can be I got the Need to Get to Nashville Blues.
