I didn't have much money I didn't have a car I just had my dreams And an old guitar Bummed a ride to nashille Tryin' to be a star How was i to know I wouldn't get too far Chorus: But that's the way things go That's the way things are Singin' again in texas In a honky-tonk bar I took my dreams to nashville Thought i'd make a start But the dreams unravelled And soon they fell apart I played my songs on the corners They never made the charts I met a girl from knoxville But she broke my heart Chorus: (2x))
