Nashville, TN

I got called just a boy Down in Alabama, unemployed To make my way up Highway 65 Blues and soul 'cause I never could get her Greener than the banks of the Mississippi River But I got hungry for a pot of gold I'm gonna shake these hands, sing these songs Dixie little girl gonna sing along And get up inside this machine Welcome back, honey, to Nashville, Tennessee Oh, Tennessee I was sawed by the blades Squeezed my soul into the lemonade One more drop of cider this city's seen I'm mindful ahead with the rest of the diggers Hands being shaken, but they never can deliver Running empty, man, running cold I'm gonna blow this life, sell my soul To hear my single on the radio And give up all of my hopes and dreams Welcome back, honey, to Nashville, Tennessee Oh, Tennessee No more shine, no more sheen No more phone and golden ticket dreams Guess it's time to go find a nine-to-five I'm gonna shake these hands, sing these songs Dixie little girl gonna sing along And get up inside this machine I'm gonna blow this life, sell my soul To hear my single on the radio Give up all of my hopes and dreams Welcome back, honey, to Nashville Welcome back, honey, to Nashville Welcome back, honey, to Nashville, Tennessee Oh, Tennessee
