lyrics

NASHVEGAS

Verse
I was born up in the Mountains
Back in the Tennessee hills
Never thought I'd ever leave the country life
Looking for the city life thrills

I figured out how to pick a mean guitar
Wrote me a song or two
Thought I'd try to see if I could make a buck
like some other folks do, like some other folks do

CHORUS
Bright lights, big city
Wildest town east of Mississippi
Juke joints runnin up and down Broadway
Everybody hopin that they’re gonna get a big break
You start out tryin to imagine and
Wind up living in a great big mansion
That's why this town is so famous
Everybody calls it NashVegas

Verse
Quit my job packed up everything I owned
Jumped in my four wheel drive
I'd never been out of Jefferson County
Never even thought I would try

Drove into town looking for a place to play
Got a gig for nickels and dimes
Wadn't too long had an offer for a road job
Didn't take me long to decide
Didn't take me long to decide

CHORUS

BRIDGE
You hear the songs they’re playing on the radio
This is where they wrote that country gold

GUITAR THANG

A big time star with a rhinestone suit on
Hired me to open his act
Got me some cash and a sweet heart record deal
since then I' never looked back
You know I never looked back


CHORUS

I was born up in the Mountains
Back in the Tennessee hills
