My friends and my mother
They all like my songs
They said, "Boy, Nashville is where you belong"
And I agreed the music world probably needed me
Well, Music City, here I am
But I don't think anybody gives a damn
In the cold, cold heart of Tennessee
There's ten thousand dreamers just like me
With a song and a guitar and a message to tell
Come to find heaven in hillbilly hell
Another day a-watchin' the Cadillacs go past
Writin' songs in my head while I'm a pumpin' gas
Eatin' beans and wearin' jeans and sleepin' in my car
I hope the folks back home will understand
It's gonna take a little longer than I planned
In the cold, cold heart of Tennessee
Yeah, there's ten thousand dreamers just like me
With a song and a guitar and a message to tell
Come to find heaven in hillbilly hell
