Lost on the streets of Nashville By Paul Wilson (A Country Song) Rain coming down washing away all my misgivings Bad memories broken dreams and heartache Tomorrow’s just another day lost on the streets of Nashville Knocking on doors paying my dues trying to get a break Singing the songs that touched my life Singing about drinking heartache and bad luck Times have changed a new generation on the rise Country music has taken on a new sound just to make a buck Nothing seems the same anymore It’s time to be moving on, reasons I can’t ignore The last bus leaves at a quarter to four Packed my bags walked out the door Rain coming down washing away all my misgivings Bad memories broken dreams and heartache Tomorrow’s just another day lost on the streets of Nashville Knocking on doors paying my dues trying to get a break Heard about a gig in Texas the money ain’t that bad All my friends said it’s time to take a stance Packed rooms on Friday and Saturday nights Waiting for the door to open wanting to dance Back in the spotlight headlining the show me and my band living the dream Nashville can keep their new country sound I’ll keep singing about life and the American dream I’m just another country singer Nashville forgot Singing my songs on another stage I’m just another country singer Nashville forgot Still playing to packed rooms at my old age I’m just a country singer With stories left to tell As far as I care Nashville can go to hell Copy Righted 9-24-19 ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

Imagining the life of a singer/songwriter on the road. To think it possible some people actually find a way to make money doing what they love. Brought me a yearnful smile Paul. |
