Lyrics:

                                                  
(It’s almost like) I Died And Went To Nashville

(Verse)
I'd listen real close on my granddaddy's radio
To Grand Ole Opry shows every Saturday night
In my mind I was a star, strumming on my Sears guitar
I knew every line of every song they'd sing

(Pre-chorus)
After all those "maybe next year's" can't believe I'm standing here
All it took was a leap of faith and a Greyhound bus
       
(Chorus)
And I can hear ol' Hank and Patsy Cline
The man in black singin', "I Walk The Line"
Their voices echo from the Ryman walls
Now I'm a dreamer down on Lower Broad
Playin' for quarters and dollar bills
And it's almost like I died and went to Nashville
 
(Verse)
Lookin’ out each night through the glare of an old spotlight
I’m the star behind the mic in a smoke filled bar
I pack up and walk back home to a motel bed alone
They may never know my name on Music Row
        
(Pre chorus)
My friends say I’ve gone to hell, but as far as I can tell      
It’s the closest place to heaven I’ve ever been
 
(Chorus)

(Bridge)
If I never fill a stadium with fans
I'll live with  no regrets
And die a happy man
 
(Chorus)

Yeah, it's almost like I died and went to Nashville
