Music City USA

I think you think that I got lucky

I see it written on your face

You say you'd like to fill my shoes

How easily you'd take my place

But if you spare me just a moment

Before you go to beg and chase

I think I'll ask you just one question

How would you like to pay my dues?

I shouldn't have come here in the first place

'Cus folks in here don't like my kind

I hear they got a lot of reasons

I think I see them on their signs

They've got a lot to say

In Music City USA

I could draw a line from Texas

Any place that's on the map

I might be in California

Then go to Georgia, be right back

Up and down the Mississippi

Tennessee river past me shows

There underneath the lights of broadway

I'm in the alley with the ghosts

I shouldn't have come here in the first place

'Cus folks in here don't like my kind

I hear they got a lot of reasons

I think I see them on their signs

They've got a lot to say
