Music City, USA (Live)
Last night somebody told me
“You should start a band
You’re never gonna make it
Singing solo up there man”
“Cause I like the way you write
And your fingerpicking’s good
You should sell some songs away
To Nashville if you could”
Oh - if I could
Thank you for the kind words
I’m glad you liked the show
“Three chords and the truth”
Like they’re the only ones who know
I wanna play the music - I wanna live and learn
To pour my heart out on some stage so we can watch it burn
Chorus
But I guess I gotta move
If I really wanna play
I guess I gotta move
To Music City, USA
Now folks, don’t get me wrong - I know that I’m no good
I’d trade my voice for someone else’s if I really could
But it’s not a competition - there’s now way I can fail
My soul is in these songs and it’s never been for sale
I wanna play the music - I wanna live and learn
To pour my heart out on this stage so we can watch it burn
(Chorus)
I don’t wanna move
Maybe I’ll just stay
Keep on singing songs
In Duval County, F.L.A.
I don’t have to move
I just wanna play
I don’t have to move
