You Can't Get Arrested in Nashville |
Key to the city, on the wall |
Platinum albums line your hall |
So how come nobody’s returning your call |
When all you want to do is sing |
Too old to start over, too young to quit |
But it’s been so long since you hit |
And everyone knows that since Elvis split, the almighty dollar is king |
There on the jukebox |
Ain’t that your name |
Hey, weren’t you headed for the Hall of Fame? |
Well, you’re tried & you’re tested |
And your songs are still requested |
But you can’t even get arrested in Nashville |
If they make you an offer, you won’t refuse |
Down here they don’t let beggars choose |
But didn’t you already pay these dues |
About a million miles ago |
They say your name is still a household word |
But what good is it, if you can’t get heard |
Well, you’re tried & you’re tested |
And your whole life is invested |
But you can’t even get arrested |
Time is not on your side |
Oh, time is on the rise |
You know it’s not enough to just break even |
When all your true believers stop believin' |
Well, you’re tried & you’re tested |
And your songs are still requested |
But you can’t even get arrested |
Well, you’re tried & you’re tested |
And your whole life is invested |
But you can’t even get arrested… in Nashville |
