City lights are shining like a beacon in the night and I hope to find my dreams under all that neon light
Spent my last dollar on this lonely motel room and through the window the city shines like a golden moon
Many roads I've traveled just to get this close to you and it's real I'm outside of Nashville
Since I was a young man I had to make my way so I bought myself a cheap guitar and practiced everyday
Ma ran off to have herself another family and pa decided all along it was easier to drink
Many roads I've traveled just to get this close to you and it's real I'm outside of Nashville
Stealing fruit to stay alive and playing county fairs I slowly moved across the land to a future that was clear
Hardly any reason to believe that I would fail no luck involved I had it all every last detail
Many roads I've traveled just to get this close to you and it's real I'm outside of Nashville
I know the city will stand up and welcome me carefully cradle me
I'm down upon the avenue and there's music in my head every guitar picker here's got work to keep him fed
The only answer to my prayers is on the river bend the guitar flies and I decide that's how the story ends
Many roads I've traveled just to get this close to you and it's real I'm outside of Nashville
