My friends and my mother they all like my songs
They said boy Nashville is where you belong
And I agreed the music world probably needed me
Well Music City here I am but I don`t think anybody gives a damn
In the cold cold heart of Tennessee there`s ten thousand dreamers just like me
With a song and a guitar and a message to tell come to find heaven in hillbilly hell
Another day a watchin` the Cadillacs go past
Writin` songs in my head while I`m a pumpin` gas
Eatin` beans and wearin` jeans and sleepin` in my car
I hope the folks back home will understand it`s gonna take a little longer than I planned
Yeah in the cold cold heart of Tennessee...
