Smith & Brewer - Music City Lyrics

Well I've no idea what time it is
But at least I know where I am.
I've just flown 4000 miles
Touched down in the promised land
The neon lights and the whisky bars
They ain't what I came here for
They've got more songs than people
And I'm gonna leave a couple more
Yeah we're gonna leave a couple more

Music City, Music City
Getting here was anything but easy

Staying in a place just off of Music Row
It's a little bit less than clean
But I don't mind all the dirt and the grime
Cause my name's in the Nashville Scene
Well we played our show at The Country
And Gail took us out to see Tennessee
We were eating pecan pie in Franklin
With country music royalty
With country music royalty

Music City, Music City
Getting here was anything but easy

Checking out the music on the east side
Wasn't country but those guys could play
Had to change my order to a whisky
Man, I couldn't take another IPA
We had to stay drinking at the 5 spot
Cause at Duke's they wouldn't serve old G
If they won't let you get a beer at 58 years old
Next time you'd better bring ID
Yeah I guess you'd better bring ID

Music City, Music City
Getting here was anything but easy

Wet socks on the lampshade
Drying my shirts on the wall
Washing all my clothes in the kitchen sink
Hoping they dry before the curtain call

One more at the tailgate
One more for the road
Got to go to Carter's just one last time
Cause tomorrow we'll be flying home

Well we're so very glad that we got here
Sometimes we didn't think we'd get this far
We'd have never made it out to Tennessee
Without a congressman and Covey Law
We couldn't quite believe it when we caught our flight
And we were sipping on some tonic and gin
Well this one's for the people at the embassy
Cause they didn't wanna let us in
No they didn't wanna let us in

Music City, Music City
Getting here was anything but easy
Music City, Music City
Getting here was anything but, getting here was anything but
Getting here was anything but easy
