Hank williams Jr. " The Nashville Scene" 1985 Five-O

The streets are paved with tourist and the record companies flourish
Lord knows every singer wants to be the king
But some of them couldn't take it and some good one's didn't make it
That's the way it goes on the Nashville scene

Now there's a wino on the corner, he was a well known guitar picker
'Til he got burned out by the game
Now he'll bum you for some whiskey
And tell you how it was back in '52 when he played for Hank

And I'm watching the sun go down this evening
And soon it will wake this town thats made of dreams
But before it does a new star will be shining
And that's the way it is on the Nashville scene

From the outside it's a castle, from the inside its a prison
It's easy to live way beyond your means
And it's a long, long way to the top and even further when you drop
And I've been on both ends of the Nashville scene

And I'm watching the sun go down this evening
And soon it'll wake this town that's made of dreams
But before it does a New Star will be shining
Lighting up the Nashville scene
Lighting up the 'ole Nashville scene
