Lyrics
I came to town several years ago
Found my way down to music row
The man said "You're okay, but come and see me some other day
Maybe in a thousand years or so"
Been living in and out of cheap motels
Sometimes I pay, sometimes I skip the bill
They say it's hard to find a job when you're looking like a slob
I can't afford a haircut, life is hell
'Cause there ain't no train outta Nashville
Once you're here, you can't go anywhere
And there ain't no train outta Nashville
Mine, pie, get me outta here
I rode that lost highway without a fear
Just my guitar and a six-pack of beer
Thought I'd make that city mine, really figured I would shine
Become a star, then blow outta here
Well, dreams die hard and mine died hard and fast
I ain't made no record, but I pumped a lot of gas
I play most times for free and sometimes I just play to eat
Boy, oh boy, this really is a blast
'Cause there ain't no train outta Nashville
Once you're here, you can't go anywhere
And there ain't no train outta Nashville
Mine, pie, get me outta here, oh
Now don't get me wrong, this town is really alright
You know, the folks are nice and that skyline sure is pretty at night
There ain't no leaving anyway, 'cause
Once you're here, you're here to stay
And if you're a songwriter, they just throw the key away
'Cause there ain't no train outta Nashville
Once you're here, you can't go anywhere
And there ain't no train outta Nashville
Mine, pie, get me outta here
On second thought, I'll just have another beer
'Cause there ain't no train, there ain't no train outta Nashville
And there ain't no train, there ain't no train outta Nashville, ha
