New kid in town, he's a stoner
Singing through a homegrown grin
Up on stage, he's a loner
Got a small band of outlaw friends
You can tell by his songs he's done some living
Boy, he's danced with a heartache or two
Late night beer joint women
He's out to walk in old Hank's shoes Down on Broadway,
they come to sing
Riding on high hopes,
living on dreams Streets are crawling with them here in Guitar
Town
It chews them up and spits them out
It's in the blood that some of them bleed
For some an unsung mystery
Heart wrote a hole here in Tennessee
We got them that are in Hank's band
And never gonna be
Some they drown in the whiskey I've seen them burn out on speed
A few walk straight and narrow Some stay high on weed
Most come from little or nothing All have something to prove
Sometimes about losing a lover
Most end up just singing the blues
Down on Broadway,
they come to sing Riding on high hopes,
living on dreams
Streets are crawling with them here in Guitar Town
It chews them up and spits them out
It's in the blood that some of them bleed
For some an unsung mystery Heart wrote a hole here in Tennessee
We got
big stars, has-beens
And never gonna be
Down on Broadway,
they come to sing Riding on high hopes,
living on dreams
Streets are crawling with them here in Guitar
Town It chews them up and spits them out
Heart wrote a hole here in Tennessee We got big stars,
has-beens
And never gonna be
It's a heart wrote a hole here in Tennessee
We got them that are in Hank's band
And never gonna be
Two kid in town, he's a stoner
