One Night in Nashville (Is Not Enough) Lyrics

Spent my whole life playing in them honky tonks and dives

Paying my dues, taking my time, waiting to arrive

But I had a dream, a dream you'll know

There was a place, a place I had to go

Working my way from bar to bar in Tennessee

Met a girl out on the road she was damn sure good to me

And in the morning, she was gone

So I picked up my guitar and carried on

To Nashville, Tennessee that's where I had to play

At first I was a stranger but I knew I had to stay

I fell in love, with Broadway lights

And I knew that Nashville

Ain't enough to have just one night

At first it wasn't easy it was rough

It's the kinda town that'll grind you down or force you to be tough

I played for strangers giving tips

And I knew, I couldn't give up on this

Not on Nashville, Tennessee it's where I had to play

At first I was a stranger but I knew I had to stay

I fell in love, with Broadway lights

And I knew Nashville

Ain't enough to have just one night

It could be the Ryman or the Grand Oprey

I'd play any dive to get there and just be me

One thing, that I could always see

Is that I had to play right here in this town where people keep the music free!

Nashville, Tennessee it's where I had to play

At first I was a stranger but I knew I had to stay

I fell in love, with Broadway lights

And I knew Nashville

Yeah Nashville, Tennessee it's where I had to play

At first I was a stranger but I knew I had to stay

I fell in love, with Broadway lights

And I knew Nashville

Yeah I knew Nashville

Yeah I knew Nashville

Ain't enough to have just one night
