C I didnt have much money
Am I didnt have a car
F I just had my dreams
G7 And an old guitar
Em Bummed a ride to Nashille
Am Tryin to be a star
F How was I to know
G7 I wouldnt get too far
F But thats the way things go
Am Thats the way things are
F Singin again in Texas
G7 In a honky-tonk C bar
Instrumental
C I took my dreams to Nashville
Am Thought Id make a start
F But the dreams unravelled
G7 And soon they fell apart
Em I played my songs on the corners
Am They never made the charts
F I met a girl from Knoxville
G7 But she broke my heart
F But thats the way things go
Am Thats the way things are
F Singin again in Texas
G7 In a honky-tonk C bar
F Well, thats the way things go
Am Thats the way things are
F Singin again in Texas
G7 In a honky-tonk C bar
