Movin' Up To Nashville by Bobby Lane

MOVIN’ UP TO NASHVILLE
Sadler/Ritchison © 2011

Well I lost my job and house
And things got pretty bad
A homeless cat and my ex-wife
The only friends I had
So I packed up my ol’ pickup truck
I headed out of town
It’s time to take my bad luck
And turn it upside down

I drove on out of Florida
Northbound on Seventy Five
Looking for a bright new day
To keep my hopes alive
Made it on up through Atlanta
Not sure which way to go
Then I thought about that city
Where my dreams can really grow

So I’m movin’ on up to Nashville
Gonna start a brand new life
I’m movin’ on up to Nashville
Wanna see my name in lights

I know life is tough on my own
A little luck and I’ll be makin’ this home
Movin’ up to Nashville

Now when I was a young man
Made music all nite long
But raising up my family
Meant playing days were gone
So now my kids are grown up
I’ve lightened up the load
It’s time to tune up my guitar
And get back on the road

My first day here in Music City USA
There’s only one thing left to say:
I’m workin’ hard in Nashville

So I’m movin’ on up to Nashville
Gonna start a brand new life
I’m movin’ on up to Nashville
Wanna see my name in lights
Be workin’ real hard in Nashville
Gonna let my dreams take flight
So I’m movin’ on up to Nashville
Wanna be up there tonight

I know life is tough on my own
A little luck and I’ll be makin this home
Movin’ up to Nashville
Movin’ up to Nashville
Movin’ up to Nashville
Movin’ up to Nashville
Movin’ up to Nashville
