I pulled in from the north with a van and a head full of dreams..
Two days on the road I was finally there..
I saw the Nashville exit sign..like a beacon in my headlight shine..
when some jerk pulled in front of me and both of us crashed..
the guy had no insurance he was obviously smashed.
With nowhere to sleep that night I walked music row till
the morning light..
Another dreamer walking the streets of this unlucky town..
with a song and two achin feet in this unlucky town..

I found a room in the west end of town by the hall of fame..
spent what I had left over on a second hand car..
I took a job that I didn't like much..
delivering pizza when I blew my clutch so I
took my guitar to every club and offered to play..
'sorry we're booked but even if we weren't we'd give you no pay..'
feeling desperate, unsure what to do,..I played for tips
on Second Avenue..
Another dreamer walking the streets of this unlucky town..
man! its so hard to compete in this unlucky town!!

I knew it would be hard but I didn't expect this..
this town will chew you up like a mill to the grist..

I took my demo to publishers but never got past the halls..
left lots of messages but no one returns my calls..
I kissed some ass..got to do a showcase..
but I had to pay them cause I didn't pack the place..
Another dreamer walking the streets of this unlucky town..
trying not to admit defeat in this unlucky town..
Another dreamer walking the streets of this unlucky town..
don't think that I will ever succeed in this unlucky town..
unlucky town..unlucky town..
