Verse 1:
I came here looking for a dream
Something I couldn’t find anywhere else
Hey, I’m not trying to be nobody
Just want a chance to be myself
I’ve walked a thousand miles of pavement
Worn out the soles of my boots
Trying to find me something better
On the streets of Nashville
Chorus:
You don’t know me, but you don’t like me
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of Nashville?
Verse 2:
I spent my nights in smoky bars
Singing songs for a dime
Hoping one day I’d be a star
And leave these hard times behind
I’ve seen the lights of Broadway
But they don’t shine for me
Still, I’m chasing down my dreams
On the streets of Nashville
Chorus:
You don’t know me, but you don’t like me
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of Nashville?
Bridge:
Every song I write is a piece of my soul
Every note a step towards my goal
You might not see the struggle in my eyes
But I’ve been fighting for this all my life
Chorus:
You don’t know me, but you don’t like me
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of Nashville?
Outro:
So I’ll keep walking, keep on singing
Till I find my place to be
On these streets of Nashville
Where my heart feels free
