Nashville Song
by James Hyland
Well, Yeah I'm broke
This town's got me beat
I can't make rent
I can't afford to eat
Yes I need,
I need to write a Nashville Song
Now Nashville folks first let me apologize,
I don't mean to offend, but surely you realize
what they’re doing, and what they’ve done to the country song
You've had old Johnny Cash, even had Steve Earle
you got the best bluegrass pickers in the world
but it’s the other stuff you can't spin enough
on the radio, oh no…
So yeah, I'm gonna write me a Nashville song
I’m gonna keep my legacy to 3 minutes long
I’m gonna get rich off of my Nashville song
I’ll write a sing-along, I’ll have the same sound
I’ll write a catchy chorus, run her into the ground
by repeating that chorus 5 times in my 3-minute song
Now here’s all you need
It’s every tool of the trade
You just need 3 chords about 5 clichés
You’re on your way, to ole Cashville, USA
Well my song was a hit, I went on the road
I met pretty girls
Lip synced at Award Shows
I'm a one hit wonder on repeat with my Nashville song
Yeah, I'm gonna write me a Nashville song
I’m gonna keep my legacy to 3 minutes long
I’m gonna get rich off of my Nashville song
Well I’ll write a sing-along, I’ll can have the same sound
I’ll could write a catchy chorus, run it into the ground
by repeating that chorus, by repeating that chorus
Well, now I live in Oak Hill, I got me a honey
We go for daily walks to get my mailbox money
Life has sure been sunny ever since I wrote my Nashville song.
