Текст песни Down on Music Row - Dan Penn

Have you ever been down
Down on Music Row
Without a friend
Feelin′ so low?

You got on the bus
In Music City a few years ago
How long does it take
To be the star of the show?

Have you ever been down
Down on Broadway
Feelin' your passion
Slowly slippin′ away?

The song in your belly
Might never get heard
If they don't like your music
And don't like the words

I thought you could make it
Take it to the top
But "No" is the word
That the kingmakers drop

"No thank you, my friend
We′ve got all the songs
Your stuff is too old school
The world has moved on"

Oh, country ain′t sellin'
The world has moved on

Have you ever been down
Down on Music Row
Down on your luck
With no place to go?

Dreams that once mattered
Have gone with the wind
Down on the Row
On down again
Down on the Row
Down again
