She could dance and she could sing She left
Texas with her dreams She swore that she could make it on her own She was young and she was fine She had looks and she had time And the feelings of a woman fully grown
She hit Nashville like a storm As soft as she was warm Knowin'
she'd be discovered any day But the things she did the best Was her overnight success And the singing just got lost along the way Baby sings the blues down on Broadway Singing from bottom of her heart Baby sings the blues down on Broadway Then cries herself to sleep there in the dark From a blessing to a curse Things just went from bad to worse Life at night worked out the way she planned And although her dreams were gone She just couldn't go back home To a town she knew that would not understand
