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
