Sundown In Nashville by Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 2003

[Intro]
Oh

[Verse 1]
The sign says Welcome to Nashville
From whatever road you've been down
It seems like the first of the milestones
For here is the city, the town
It's a quaint, old mystical city
Where legends and idols have stood
It's a place where dreams come to harbor
A country boy's Hollywood

[Chorus]
But it's lonely at sundown in Nashville
That's when beaten souls start to weep
Each evening at sundown in Nashville
They sweep broken dreams off the street

[Verse 2]
You'll walk down 16th to Broadway
Into a world of heartache and pain
Where hillbilly honky-tonk angels
Cry out from the dark side of fame
You'll find some discarded love songs
And tear stains all over the ground
In a city where dreams get shattered
And swept to the outskirts of town
[Chorus]
But it's lonely at sundown in Nashville
That's when beaten souls start to weep
Each evening at sundown in Nashville
They sweep broken dreams off the street

[Outro]
They sweep broken dreams off the street
