Key: A
Introduction:
A
Well a long time ago when I left home I never thought I would be
A
Part of a wheel a cog on a belt that turned the big machine
D
I wanted out on the road or down on the street or something wild and free
A E A
But now I'm payin the bills and movin' the country in Nashville Tennessee
They promise you this they promise you that you never know what to believe
B
Long black shadow reachin' way too far crampin' everybody's style
B D E
Everybody here gets to be a star but when the lights go out you're still on trial
A
No matter where I go or what I do it never seems good enough
A
All I know is if it don't kill me it's gonna make me tough
D
Tryin' hard not to fall through the cracks and grease up that machine
A E D A
But I'm payin the bills and movin' the country in Nashville Tennessee
