1
In the year of forty three mama finished feedin' me
2
And quickly rushed off to her job at Woorden's Backmill
3
But at fourth on Monroe's street a faillin' hearts stopped at willin' feet
4
And mama gave up the breath of life in the town of Nashville
5
Daddy was in the county jail so my older sister Nell
6
Took a job at a tavern that some folks called the Trashmill
7
And when the welfare agency offered help and smiled at me
8
No thanks but we'll get by in this town of Nashville
9
As a kid I went to school hurt stood high on a tavern stool
10
A listenin' to the songs on the jukebox at the Trashmill
11
And that hurtin' in them sad old songs settled deep in a poor boy's bones
12
And I vowed I'll someday pick and sing in Nashville
13
So my older sister Nell like a true blue southern bell
14
Bought me a second handed guitar from the Nashville goodwill
15
Heaven would smile and bells would ring when I touched those shiny strings
16
And I was the richest poor boy in the town of Nashville
17
[ piano ]
18
There's a chill down in my bones yes it's my time to go on
19
And I'm sure the good Lord knows the way I feel
20
So they're callin' me a star I can't forget about that first guitar
21
And a lady who helped me to make it big in this town of Nashville
