Music City USA

I think you think that I got lucky

I see it written on your face

You say you’d like to fill my shoes

How easily you take my place

But if you spare me just a moment

Before you go to pick and choose

I think I’ll ask you just one question, how would you like to pay my dues?

I shouldn’t have come here in the first place

Cause folks in here don’t like my kind

I hear they’ve got a lot of reasons

I think I see them on their signs

They’ve got a lot to say in Music City USA

I could draw a line from Texas

To any place that’s on a map

I might be in California

Then go to Georgia, be right back

Up and down the Mississippi, Tennessee River past the Shoals

There underneath the lights of Broadway

I’m in the alley with the ghosts

I shouldn’t have come here in the first place

Cause folks in here don’t like my kind

I hear they’ve got a lot of reasons

I think I see them on their signs

They’ve got a lot to say in Music City USA
