lirik lagu joe ely - dream camara
i was standing at the end of the very longest line
between everywhere and nowhere i could not make up my mind
stole enough to keep me honest, walked a crooked mile, i know
i had more time than money, i had no place left to go
closed my eyes and chose a destination like any good refugee
i stuck a fork into a roadmap right through nashville, tennessee
swimming pools, country stars
hitchhiking on the shoulder of the road to nowhere fast
i flagged down a ride, next thing i know we’re haulin’ -ss
i turned to the scarecrow, to the lion, to the tin man
i said “everyone in nashville gonna wonder where we been man”
â´cross the bridge into memphis, i had my hat in my hand
paid our respects to he king and drove on to the promised land
welcome to nashville – land of opportunity
welcome to nashville – your cab driver knows alan jackson
welcome to nashville – the dreams are shoulder to shoulder
welcome to nashville…
we corssed against the light on broadway, we just got into town
n-body saw the blind man who was showing us around
he’d just moved back to nashville for teh forty-second time
introduced himself as “hey buddy, can you spare a dime?”
he was back without a vengeance, he arrived there with a thud
he was living on the sidewalk, he was thinning out his blood
i told the hotel clerk about my band and our show in town tonight
he said “let me guess – john, paul, george and ringo, am i right?
take a look around you, buddy, don’t you know where you are?
you can’t throw a rock without hitting some guy with a guitar.
since you brought it up i must confess i got my own band, too.”
he said his name was wallace hartley, i said “fancy meetin’ you!
welcome to nashville – everyone’s a songwriter
welcome to nashville – get yourself a cr-ppy day job
welcome to nashville – they’re gonna tear you a new one
welcome to nashville…
if a tree falls in the forest and there’s no one around
if a band plays in nashville does it make a sound?
we did our bet three minutes that n-body came to see
but we sure put some time out of it’s misery
singin’ ’bout wallpaper cowboys and hemmingway cats
to a conflict of disinterest from their boots down to their hats
i sang ’em six or seven hundred of my very best melodies
they just said “boy, ain’t you got any other songs than these?”
i go walkin’ after midnight goin’ where the lonely go
i got heartaches by the number, hear that lonesome whistle blow
i took the grand tour, lived the night life, saw the rose garden too
found a good hearted woman but i can’t stop lovin’ you
if it’s only maek believe well who’s to bless and who’s to blame
’cause i walked the line and they never even called me by my name
welcome to nashville – man these guys are serious
welcome to nashville – i’ve got a friend who’s got a friend
welcome to nashville – would you like fries with that?
welcome to nashville – now go on home
