Goodnight Music City

Well roll, roll Cumberland nice and slow

Wash the broken dreams downstream 'til tomorrow

Neon buzzin' for the new kid in town

Brand-new jeans and the same ol' same sound

Ghosts in the jukebox rolling over in their graves

Three part Second Avenue serenade

Goodnight Broadway, goodnight boots

Goodnight six string honky-tonk grooves

Turn the stools over, give the floor a sweep

And rock yourself to sleep

Singing, "Goodnight tip jar troubadours"

Spitting the truth with the same three chords

Hang up your rhinestones and finish your whiskey

And goodnight (goodnight, goodnight) Music City

Trying to cut corners in a ten-year town

Get your 15 minutes on a country merry-go-round

Fried bologna sandwich and a PBR

There's tears in the beers and steel in the guitar

The old Mother Church has heard every last call prayer

Go to bed wishing and wake up a millionaire

Goodnight Broadway, goodnight boots

Goodnight six string honky-tonk grooves

Turn the stools over, give the floor a sweep

And rock yourself to sleep

Singing, "Goodnight tip jar troubadours"

Spitting the truth with the same three chords

Hang up your rhinestones and finish your whiskey

And goodnight (goodnight, goodnight) Music City

Ghosts in the jukebox rolling over in their graves

Angels and the pickers and the bluebirds all say

Goodnight Broadway, goodnight boots

Goodnight six string honky-tonk grooves

Turn the stools over, give the floor a sweep

And rock yourself to sleep

Singing, "Goodnight tip jar troubadours"

Spitting the truth with the same three chords

Hang up your rhinestones and finish your whiskey

And goodnight (goodnight, goodnight) Music City

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Goodnight Music City

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Goodnight Music City
