Nashville Tears - John Anderson

作词：Bobby Braddock

作曲：Bobby Braddock

Billy came to town in

A cadillac jalopy

With a song that he

Was born to sing

But he's never gotten

Closer to the backstage of the Opry

Than a little Riley

Parkway Burger King

Johnny is a genius a

Real blue collar poet

He's written songs for

Every star in town

But no one's ever listened

No one will ever know it

Ten years have passed

And he's still hanging out

Nashville tears keep

Welling up inside

They come down like falling

Rain across the years

That old Cumberland river

So deep and so wide

Is nothing more or nothing

Less than Nashville tears

Debbie lost her deal before

She signed the papers

Now she lives in a house

Six stories tall

Where the only songs she

Sings is to her Lord and Saviour

In a lonely little room

With rubber walls

He was a superstar when

He was young and handsome

But now he's out of sight

And out of mind

He's got a one way ticket

But it won't be to Branson

He's headed' down

The Cumberland tonight

Nashville tears keep

Welling up inside

They come down like falling

Rain across the years

That old Cumberland river

So deep and so wide

Is nothing more or nothing

Less than Nashville tears

That old Cumberland river

So deep and so wide

Ain't nothing more or nothing

Less than Nashville tears
