Leaving Nashville
[Verse 1] Pour out your heart in 3:20 The one you didn't write for the money You turn it in, nobody's listening But you got a cut, so the check's coming If it ain't a single, it don't mean nothing But every girl with a dream wants to be your friend
[Pre-Chorus 1] One day, you're the king, and the next, you're not It's handshakes and whiskey shots, boy And throwing up in parking lots all by yourself
[Chorus 1] But I ain't never leaving Nashville I ain't never leaving Nashville
[Verse 2] You're getting calls from old friends They say, 'Heard your song - wanna write again?' You're coming up with brand new ways to say no Then you're six months without a hold Every other day, you're getting canceled Calling up old friends; that's just the way it goes
[Pre-Chorus 2] One day, you're the king, the next you're not Handshakes and whiskey shots And throwing up in parking lots all gone to Hell
[Chorus 2] Hell, I ain't never leaving Nashville I ain't never leaving Nashville
[Bridge] Oh, and your friends are friends with country stars Yeah, they're buying homes and here you are You're two months from living in your car
[Chorus 3] But you ain't never leaving Nashville You ain't never leaving Nashville
[Pre-Chorus 3] Oh, one day, you're the king, and the next you're not It's handshakes and whiskey shots, boy To picking up the pieces you lost of yourself
[Chorus 4] Well, I ain't never leaving Nashville I ain't never leaving Nashville I ain't never leaving Nashville I ain't never leaving Nashville I ain't never leaving this town, oh
[Outro] One day you're the king, and the next you're not
