  • It'd be just another river town
    Streets would have a different sound
    There'd be no honky tonks with whiskey rounds
    No dreamers chasin' dreams down

    No tourists takin' in the sights
    No stetsons under broadway lights
    No pickers playin' for pocket change
    No rhinestone boots on an old church stage

    Hey blue eyes, cryin' in the rain
    Hey fire, burnin' round the ring
    Hey crazy, you know it's true
    That nashville, wouldn't be nashville, without you

    No ghost of the man in black
    No long white cadillac
    No woman standin' by her man
    In the place where it all began

    Hey good lookin', hey momma tried
    Hey gambler, hey country boy can survive
    Hey jolene, you know it's true
    That nashville, wouldn't be nashville, without you

    Hey georgia, hey smokey mountain rain
    Hey galveston, he stopped loving her today
    Hey fancy, you know it's true
    That nashville, wouldn't have
    Blue eyes, cryin' in the rain
    Hey fire, burnin' round the ring
    Hey crazy, you know it's true
    That nashville, wouldn't be nashville, without you

    It'd be just another river town
    Streets would have a different sound Writer/s: JOE LEATHERS, KYLE JACOBS, RUSTON SAMUEL KELLY
