Lyrics
While she waits for a break from a record label, there's a living to make so she's waitin' on tables. Doin' her best to keep it real, writin' songs on napkins full of soul and feel and prayin' someday one wil land hera a deal.
SHE'S A NASHBILLE GIRL, NASHBILLE GIRL, YEAH SHE IS, NASHVILLE GIRL, SHE'S A NASHBILLE GIRL
She's got to make it while she's in her prime, singing demos for any fool who's got a dime; till one night she meets up with Mr. Wrong and he gets her into bed with Bacardi and a song. But it isn't long before he bails, and 9 months later a baby wails (that baby was already singin' the blues and you might've guessed it, that little kid was). . .
A NASHVILLE GIRL, NASHVILLE GIRL, YEAH SHE WAS, NASHVILLE GIRL, SHE'S A NASHVILLE GIRL
Now before you know it she's pushin' thirty,and desperate enough to start gettin' flirty with a label head who wears a bad wig. But he says she's got a voice he can dig. But we all know how the story goes, once he gets what he wants, he says "i don't know . . . 'cause you might sound a little bit too much like Reba". But the truth is more like he's got the fever for a D-cup cutie who's next in line. Sorry, babe, she changed his mind. He's moved on to another Nashville girl.
NASHVILLE GIRL, NASHVILLE GIRL, YES SHE IS, NASHVILLE GIRL, SHE'S A NASHVILLE GIRL
(BRIDGE) So she takes her daughter and she moves back home to her parent's house in Idaho, till one night, lawdy shawty, what do you know!? Someone's singin' her song on the radio!
Now she gets royalty checks and she does what she oughta:- saves the money for college for her teenage daughter. But her daughter's been infected by her Mama's dream and sure enough when she turns 18, she takes her Mama's car and gets away clean, chasin' after that Nashville dream, or was it her Mama's dream? Either way, let it play.
SHE'S A NASHVILLE GIRL, NASHVILLE GIRL, YES SHE IS, NASVILLE GIRL, SHE'S A NASHVILLE GIRL, I'M A NASHVILLE GIRL, NASHVILLE GIRL, YES I AM, NASHVILLE GIRL, I'M A NASHVILLE GIRL . . . NASHVILLE GIRL
