Nashville Tears
View ArtistLyrics
Billy came to town in a cadillac jalopy With a song that he was born to sing But he's never gotten closer to the backstage of the Opry Than a little Briley Parkway Burger King Johnny is a genius a real blue collar poet He's written songs for every star in town But no one's ever listened no one will ever know it Ten years have passed and he's still hanging out Nashville tears keep welling up inside They come down like falling rain across the years That old Cumberland river so deep and so wide Is nothing more or nothing less than Nashville tears Debbie lost her deal before she signed the papers Now she lives in a house six stories tall Where the only songs she sings is to her Lord and Saviour In a lonely little room with rubber walls He was a superstar when he was young and handsome But now he's out of sight and out of mind He's got a one way ticket but it won't be to Branson He's headed' down the Cumberland tonight Nashville tears keep welling up inside They come down like falling rain across the years That old Cumberland river so deep and so wide Is nothing more or nothing less than Nashville tears That old Cumberland river so deep and so wide Ain't nothing more or nothing less than Nashville tears
