Music City Lights
She was the girl who lived next door and she was the love of my life
I thought we’d always be together I thought someday she'd be my wife
Fate had its own plan and each day it grew stronger this hungry look in her eyes
She was under a spell I could tell from those Music City lights
She heard Nashville calling it was her dream I could never share
My love would never be enough, it didn’t matter if it wasn’t fair
Should of saw it coming nothing there hidden the signs were so clear
Still it gets lonely when the only one .. you love’s no longer there
(Chorus)
Music City called her the way a lighthouse calls in a storm
What can a country boy offer next to those Nashville lights
Big city promises look like shiny diamonds to a country girl
But Music City lights have brought a lonely darkness to my world
(INST)
(Bridge)
Sometimes on a clear night ... I can see those Music City lights
Shining like diamonds in the night
I hope your dreams came true ... as I drink a toast to you
And quietly curse those Music City lights
(Chorus)
Music City called her the way a lighthouse calls in a storm
What can a country boy offer next to those Nashville lights
Big city promises look like shiny diamonds to a country girl
But Music City lights have brought a lonely darkness to my world
She was the girl who lived next door and she was the love of my life
