Well I came into Nashville on a train
After six months I'm leaving just the same
Deep in my heart I know don't seem right
Another guitar picker down in Nashville station tonight

Well I knocked on every door that I could
And I begged 'em all to listen nobody would
And it made me feel so empty deep inside
Another guitar picker down in Nashville station tonight

Lord I'd hate to tell the folks back home I failed
I think I'd rather be in the Nashville jail
Now I leave town with all my broken pride
Another guitar picker down in Nashville station tonight

[ guitar ]
Lord I'd hate to tell the folks back home I failed
I think I'd rather be in the Nashville jail
Man I really got enough maney left in my pocket to ride
Another guitar picker down in Nashville station tonight
Yeah another guitar picker down in Nashville station tonight
