He was a small town farm boy from a poor neighborhood
Spent most of his time dreaming others said that he was just no good
He made the trip to Nashville for his songs to be heard
He ended up living down on Broadway and no one has heard a single word

The scars of Nashville you can see it in their eyes
It ain't no big deal another wasted life
Just some one else with a crazy dream that's been shot down and left lonely The scars of Nashville you will see it in their eyes

She was a big city girl with dreams of her own
Tired of her surroundings so she ran away from home
She thought if she went to Nashville A star she may meet
But now she stands out on Broadway selling her body on the street

Now there's been a lot of good people that had a good sound
A whole lots of people leave their lives to go to that town
They set out a dreaming for just a chance to be heard
Most end up on Broadway yeah most end up on Broadway and no ones heard a single word Yeah No one has heard a single word
