NASHVILLE COFFEE CUP

Verse
There?s a cupboard in my kitchen filled with old coffee cups
My favorite one has Nashville written on the front
It?s a token to symbolize, what?s left of a man?s life
When he gave it his best, and didn?t reach the top
Verse
In my younger years, I got hooked on the music
I played the dashboard drums, on my way to school
I promised my mama someday I?d buy her a mansion on a hill
Now I?m pushing forty, and wondering how I?ll pay the light bill
(Modulate)
Verse
Music was always an important part of my life
When a new song came out I?d learn to play it, even if it took all night
It?s hard to believe I?ve given up, but after a house, two wives, and a pickup truck
Well it wasn?t for nothing, I?ve got this Nashville coffee cup
Chorus
I miss the thrill of playing a song for the very first time
And the chill it gives you, when everything sounds just right
It?s a feeling, so hard to describe, the crowd goes wild, and you feel so alive
And just for a moment, there?s a purpose in your life
Words on paper are just a start, the music makes them a work of art
But that?s all behind me now, there?s just this Nashville coffee cup
TAG
There?s a shelf in my cupboard, that holds something very special to me
It represents a lifetime of devotion, and misery
(talking)
1. So, you?re giving up music?
2. That?s right
1. They?re looking for a band, down at the hideaway
2. I?m not interested
1. I hear they just hired a new waitress
2. Maybe, I could go down and just talk to them
1. Say you lost a house, two wives, and a pickup truck?
2. Yea, it bothers me a lot, you know I really miss that pickup truck
1. So, how did you get that Nashville coffee cup, did some big star give it to you ?
2. Well to tell the truth, I found it on a park bench?in...MEMPHIS
