Lyrics
Nashville Wannabe
Some say you’ve got a talent, to write and sing a song
Creating chords and melodies, that make others hum along
They say you’ve got charisma and personality
But you can’t find an agent, who sees what all the others see
Now with talent like you got, why have you been overlooked
Why does no one have a space for you, in their appointment book
Oh can’t they see the millions, your songs could generate
Lord knows you only have one plea and here is what you pray
You don’t want to be, a Nashville Wannabe
You’ve been trying 20 years, but still no opportunities
All day long, you’re hearing songs, on the radio
Not as good as most of the, ones that you’ve composed
You don’t want to be, a Nashville Wannbe
You don’t want to go down in history, with that kind of legacy
You just want the world to hear your words and melodies
You don’t want to be, a Nashville Wannbe
So you’re still pick’n, you’re still grin’n
You’re still writing words and notes
Practicing for hours, until your throat and fingers hurt
Sad songs, glad songs, country songs and jazz songs
Down on your luck songs, and back up on the top songs
Love songs, gospel songs, good girl songs and bad boy songs
But no one ever seems to notice you
Lord knows your prayer is simple, here’s what you wished He’d do
