Struggling with Nashville? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
In the year of forty three mama finished feedin' me And quickly rushed off to her job at Woorden's Backmill But at fourth on Monroe's street a faillin' hearts stopped at willin' feet And mama gave up the breath of life in the town of Nashville Daddy was in the county jail so my older sister Nell Took a job at a tavern that some folks called the Trashmill And when the welfare agency offered help and smiled at me No thanks but we'll get by in this town of Nashville As a kid I went to school hurt stood high on a tavern stool A listenin' to the songs on the jukebox at the Trashmill And that hurtin' in them sad old songs settled deep in a poor boy's bones And I vowed I'll someday pick and sing in Nashville So my older sister Nell like a true blue southern bell Bought me a second handed guitar from the Nashville goodwill Heaven would smile and bells would ring when I touched those shiny strings And I was the richest poor boy in the town of Nashville [ piano ] There's a chill down in my bones yes it's my time to go on And I'm sure the good Lord knows the way I feel So they're callin' me a star I can't forget about that first guitar And a lady who helped me to make it big in this town of Nashville
