80 Miles to Nashville - Scott Dawson

80 Miles to Nashville Lyrics

80 Miles to Nashville gonna cut a country song
Number one with a bullet
Right at three minutes long
Quit my job at the saw mill gonna be the next big thing
80 miles to Nashville but I don't know what to sing
I could write about cheating
And the price that children pay
I could write about drinking
How to throw your life away
I could write about memories
Living in the past
There's the Tennessee border
I'd better think of something fast
The boys are waiting for me
Down at Last Chance studio
Best demo for your dollar

Crown jewel of music row
We provide an engineer
And a reel to reel tape deck
Bring your Grand Ole Opry dreams
And a certified cashiers check
I've had to beg, borrow and steal
Trying to score that record deal
I've lost my job and family
Oh Lord have mercy on me
