Some People

Some people go to L.A. to shoot movies

Workin' their way up to strike a deal

Some of em will even fly to Chicago

So they can brag about their fine dining meal

Some guys they claim to know how to get there

With their TV Shows, swanky clothes, big hair

Well there's something out there for everyone

You don't need to settle where you are

Some people go to Nashville to be a star

Some people go to Nashville to be a star

Write one big hit, sign a couple guitars

They shouldn't count on it

Cause it'll hurt a bit

When they'll be singing Alan Jackson in Jimmy Buffett's bar

Well, some people go to Brussels for a Belgian

While others go to Dublin for a stout

Some folks go to Milwaukee to make a fool of themselves

And if ya never had a Maritime Schooner well you're missing out

Some people stop in Moncton to get to Halifax

Some people go to Abbeville and get Shucked!

Well there's something out there for everyone

You don't have to settle where you are

Some people go to Nashville to be a star

Some people go to Nashville to be a star

Write one big hit, sign a couple guitars

They shouldn't count on it

Cause it'll hurt a bit

When they'll be singing Alan Jackson in Jimmy Buffett's bar

Some people spend their lives tryin' to make a name

Workin' on new songs but every tune turns out the same

They seem to forget the legends they hold dear

Often came from a nowhere like here

Well some people like me try to stay out of the city

I rather get my news from the local bar

When I want to see country, I go to the country!

Some people go to Nashville

Some dreamers go to Nashville

Some people go to Nashville to be a star!
