Drakeford - Nashville Lyrics

Well I moved to the land of music and of promises
The land of traffic jams, restaurants and offices
A coffee in my hand just to help me fight the awkwardness
Was in another town but this is where the party is
So there I go jumping on the bandwagon
Raise a glass for all the record deals I ain't having
Funny enough I didn't come to make my dreams happen
I just came to be

Singin' first of all
Don't do it for the money
Second of all
Don't work for free
You got a gift to share, some change to spare
For those who need the opportunity
You gotta breath it in
When you're walking through the roses
But chase the one that you're meant to be
And most of all, just love all the people you see
That tip's on me

Yeah I'm still figuring out the ways of my new town
A city full of dreamers and we're paying the bills somehow
You've probably seen them all living it up in SoCal
But only Tennessee knows the meaning of a Hoedown
You've probably heard about some daughters and a bakery
You've definitely heard about the music industry
But people are the real heartbeat of the community
And that's fine by me

Singin' first of all
Don't do it for the money
Second of all
Don't work for free
You got a gift to share, some change to spare
For those who need the opportunity
You gotta breath it in
When you're walking through the roses
But chase the one that you're meant to be
And most of all, just love all the people you see
That tip's on me

Oh oh, na na na na na na
Oh oh, na na na na na na
Oh oh, na na na na na na

Nashville is alive and kicking
Hit you in the senses like a fresh hot chicken
Some people think that all you gotta do is write a hit then
Take it to the radio and now you're making millions
But you know, It doesn't work that way
You write a couple hundred songs and only one gets played
But that's ok, I'm in it to communicate
And you know I've got a lot to say

Singin' first of all
Don't do it for the money
Second of all
Don't work for free
You got a gift to share, some change to spare
For those who need the opportunity
You gotta breath it in
When you're walking through the roses
But chase the one that you're meant to be
And most of all, just love all the people you see
That tip's on me

Oh oh, na na na na na na
Oh oh, na na na na na na
Oh oh, na na na na na na
Na na na na na na

You gotta breathe it in
When you're walking through the roses
But chase the one that you're meant to be
Most of all, just love all the people see
That's tip's on me
