nashvilles not my home
Writer Ken Lillie
Nashvilles not my home

I saw him at a truck stop
Sleeping under a big oak tree
He asked me for a dollar
Said that ways Nashville Tennesse

He slid his weathered hat up.
Said son it aint that far
But I've seen more people fail there
Than become a country star

He said I aint never been to Hollywood
And I don't intend to go
I spent some time in Nashville
And found out Nashvilles not my home
But it dosn't matter what I say
I see your going to go
Just remember your one of many
Trying to make it to the big show

I handed him a dollar
And he tucked it in his coat
He lit up an old cigar
And slowly turned on down the road

I spent three years in Nashville
Coudnt find that one big song
I stayed as long as I could
Just to prove that old man wrong

I guess I should have listened
That day under that oak
I sure could use a dollar
To tuck inside my coat

I aint never been to Hollywood
And I dont intend to go
I just spent three years in Nashville
And found out Nashvilles not my home
I cant say he didnt warn me
But I knew I had to go
Now I'm just another dreamer
That never made it to the big show
