Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It'd be just another river town
Streets would have a different sound
There'd be no honky tonks with whiskey rounds
No dreamers chasin' dreams down
[Verse 2]
No tourists takin' in the sights
No Stetsons under Broadway lights
No pickers playin' for pocket change
No rhinestone boots on an old church stage
[Verse 3]
Hey, Blue Eyes Cryin' In The Rain
Hey, fire burnin' round the ring
Hey, Crazy, you know it's true
That Nashville wouldn't be Nashville without you
[Verse 4]
No ghost of the man in black
No long, white Cadillac
No woman standin' by her man
In the place where it all began
[Verse 5]
Hey, Good Lookin', hey, Mama Tried
Hey, Gambler, hey, Country Boy Can Survive
Hey, Jolene, you know it's true
That Nashville wouldn't be Nashville without you
[Verse 6]
Hey, Georgia, hey, Smokey Mountain Rain
Hey, Galveston, he stopped loving her today
Hey, Fancy, you know it's true
That Nashville wouldn't have
Blue Eyes Cryin' In The Rain
Hey, fire burnin' round the ring
Hey, Crazy, you know it's true
That Nashville wouldn't be Nashville without you
[Verse 7]
It'd be just another river town
Streets would have a different sound
