lyrics

He thumbed his way to Nashville back in ‘88
With a dream and a guitar to his name
He could sing like Elvis, well he could hardly wait
He could almost taste the fortune and fame

Music City is a town that can knock you down
And leave you in total despair
It can tear you apart and rip out your heart
And turn your dreams into nightmares

Now his home is on the backstreets off Broadway
Living out his dreams on nickels and dimes
When the Row told him no, he had nowhere to go
But the backstreets off Broadway and out of his mind

Well he tried and he tried in the years they went by
’Til he landed between 2nd and 3rd
He’s still there today making his way
And singing for all that he’s worth

Now his home is on the backstreets off Broadway
Living out his dreams on nickels and dimes
When the Row told him no, he had nowhere to go
But the backstreets off Broadway and out of his mind

When Music Row told him no, he had nowhere to go
But the backstreets off Broadway and out of his mind

He’s on the back streets off Broadway and out of his mind

1st time i heard DeathWish, i turned it off. felt rushed, not the Isbell i've come to admire. really grab'd me when i took time to listen on the 2nd try. the writing on these songs stopped me in my tracks more than once. raw talent with just enough polish in the delivery. thankyou Jason + 400 for another keeper swirlingmadness
