I NEVER GOT TO NASVILLE
(J. Nixon / R. Morgan)


Kay Adams - 1974



Well he told me I had what it takes
And he told me what I needed was one lucky break
Then he played me like he played his guitar
And he said, "When you get to Nashville, "I'll make you a star"

But I never got to Nashville, he didn't make me a star
No, I never got to Nashville, I'm still singin' in this bar
But I'm goin'a keep on tryin', 'cause tryin' hard is what it takes
And someday I'll be big in Nashville, someday I'll get that lucky break

The jukebox plays his records, he's number one
And now I know that I was just one night of fun
Time goes by and Nashville seems so far away
Ah, but I know that I can make it, I'm on my way

No, I never got to Nashville, and he didn't make me a star
No, I never got to Nashville, I'm still singin' in this bar
But I'm goin'a keep on tryin', 'cause tryin' hard is what it takes
And someday I'll be big in Nashville, someday I'll get that lucky break
Yes, someday I'll get to Nashville, someday I'll be a star
Someday I'll get to Nashville ......... FADE
