The first stage I ever sang on
Was in a Baptist church out on a back road
A preacher's son at the age of 7
A blessing from Hank and a gift from heaven
Country was the road I was told to take
Now it's time to take a leap of faith
Next stop Nashville
I'm on my way
Next stop Nashville
That's what I say
Once I make it there, I'm gonna stay
Next stop Nashville.
People come from everywhere
With a dream on the wings of a prayer
Writin' them songs and singin' together
Makin' the world a little bit better
Goodbye to my Mississippi home
Tennessee's the place where I belong!
Bridge: Got a hillbilly heart and an old guitar
One day gonna be a star in Nashville
