[Chorus]Down on Music RowDown on music RowIf you want to be a starThat's where you've got to go[Verse 1]I could feel a change a comingI left my hometown a hummingWith my ol' guitar a strummingSongs that I had wroteI was on my way to NashvilleI just couldn't hardly waitTill I could sing my songsTo the folks on Music Row[Verse 2]I got into Nashville earlySleepy, hungry, tired and dirtyAnd on the steps of RCAI ate a stale, sweet rollIn the fountain at the hall of fameI washed my face and read the namesIn the walkway of the starsDown on Music Row[Chorus][Verse 3]I waited there 'till eight o'clockWhen office doors became unlockedThen I started walkingDown the streets of Music RowJust a walking up and down the streetTrying to find out who to seeTo help me get on recordAnd to hear the songs I'd wrote[Verse 4]But I found it going roughEveryone was all tied upEither in a conferenceOr in the studioThey said that I could leave a tapeBut they'd suggest I didn't wait'Cause everyone was awful busyDown on Music Row[Verse 5]But I could feel that change a comingAnd I just kept right on a hummingWith my ol' guitar still strummingAll them songs that I'd wroteAnd then Chet and Bob at RCAWell, they listened to my songs that dayAnd they both told me that I was on my wayDown on Music Row[Chorus]
