[Intro]
(One, two)
(One, two, three)
Mm, alright, here we go
[Verse 1]
1995, I stayed at the Fiddler's Inn
On a seven-day getaway family vacation
Ernest Tubb Record Shop
And a nine-o'clock Opry show
Next day, we took a right
Right over to Music Row (Yeah)
[Verse 2]
That night, we hit the Bluebird, I saw Tony Arata
Got his autograph and just like that
I knew what I wanted to do with my life
I knew right where I wanted to go
Yeah, there wasn't no hesitation
I was destination Music Row
[Chorus]
Where the pen meets the paper
Where the pick hits the strings
Little houses full of people
Drinkin' coffee, wearin' jeans, and chasin' dreams
Tryin' to strike a little country gold
But the truth is most the music don't see the light of day
And a lot of the best songs never find their way to the radio
But if you do end up here and wanna know
Good chance it found its wings down on Music Row
[Verse 3]
Some of my best friends I've met in this town
We talk about our lives and then we write it down
Sometimes, it's just for laughs
Sometimes, we're barin' our souls
I don't know of any other two streets
That got a heartbeat like Music Row
No, I don't
[Chorus]
Where the pen meets the paper
Where the pick hits the strings
Little houses full of people
Drinkin' coffee, wearin' jeans, and chasin' dreams
Tryin' to strike a little country gold
But the truth is most the music don't see the light of day
And a lot of the best songs never find their way to the radio
But if you do end up here and wanna know
Good chance it found its wings down on Music Row
Uh-uh-uh-uh
[Verse 4]
Well, it don't look like it did back in the day
But the looks weren't ever what it was 'bout anyway
And there's some kid tonight in his bedroom strummin' chords
Tryin' to find a rhyme for "alone"
Some day he'll bring that heartbreak down to Guitar Town
Hit the roundabout and pour it all out on Music Row
[Outro]
Down on Music Row
Down on Music Row
Down on Music Row
