Nashville's Music Row

I was told to stop trying son, and forget about writing songs

They said don't go to Nashville and stay here where you belong

I've heard a thousand reasons for why I shouldn't go

But I still wanted to see if I could make it on Nashville's Music Row

I've been here for a while now, and man I just don't know

If I'm ever going to make it here or if it's time for me to go

But I've got to keep trying, I got to give it a go

If I'm ever gonna make it on Nashville's Music Row

I didn't know any folks, I was a new guy on the scene

Doing what others have tried, just chasin' a dream

But I can't give up, I gotta try to find someone to hear my song

And then try to convince them that right here is where I belong

Mmm, I've been here for a while now, and man I just don't know

If I'm ever going to make it here or if it's time for me to go

But I've got to keep trying, I got to give it a go

If I'm ever gonna make it on Nashville's Music Row

The city's full of dreamers, all hoping for a lucky break

Never knowing if it'll happen, or how long it might take

I've heard many rejections, and I've felt the blues

But I have to keep reminding myself that everyone has to pay their dues

Yeah, I've been here for a while now, and man I just don't know

If I'm ever going to make it here or if it's time for me to go

But I've got to keep trying, I got to give it a go

If I'm ever gonna make it on Nashville's Music Row

I gotta keep writing songs and let them all know

That I have what it takes to be here

On Nashville's Music Row

On Nashville's Music Row

On Nashville's Music Row

Yeah, I'm gonna keep at it, I'm gonna give it a go

Until I can finally make it

On Nashville's Music Row
