Lyrics:

                                                  
(It’s almost like) I DIED AND WENT TO NASHVILLE

V1
I'd listen real close on my transistor radio
To Grand Ole Opry shows every Saturday night
In my mind I was a star, strummin' on my old guitar
I knew every line of every song they'd sing
	After all those "maybe next year's" can't believe I'm standin' 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 off 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

V2
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
	My friends say I’ve gone to hell, but as far as I can tell 	
             It’s the closest place to heaven that I’ve ever been

(Repeat chorus)

            If I never fill a stadium with fans
            This is where my heart is, so I hope you understand	
		
Chorus (That I can hear ol' Hank…)

Yeah, it's almost like I DIED AND WENT TO NASHVILLE
