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 watching
The Cadillacs go past
Writing songs in my head
While I'm a pumping gas
Eating beans and wearing jeans
And sleeping in my car
I hope the folks back home will understand
It's gonna take a little longer than I planned
Yeah 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
