They say Nashville is a ten year town
Nashville is a ten year town
You gotta keep up your hope
You can't let it get you down

They call it a town of dreamers
Of con men and of schemers
A million guitar pickers
And chicken finger lickers

I came into town on a Greyhound bus
I was at the end there was no more "us"
She wouldn't even answer the telephone
Now I gotta spend Christmas all alone

A town full of dreamers
A city full of dreams
But sometimes dreams are all
You're gonna get it seems

But I'm stuck in a ten year town
Here for good in a ten year town
Cause when you're numbers up
Ain't no where to go but up
