I didn't have much money
I didn't have a car
I just had my dreams
And an old guitar

Bummed a ride to nashille
Tryin' to be a star
How was i to know
I wouldn't get too far

Chorus:
But that's the way things go
That's the way things are
Singin' again in texas
In a honky-tonk bar

I took my dreams to nashville
Thought i'd make a start
But the dreams unravelled
And soon they fell apart

I played my songs on the corners
They never made the charts
I met a girl from knoxville
But she broke my heart

Chorus: (2x))
