Rollin' down the Interstate, just crossed into Tennessee The only thing behind me now is the way it used to be and I can't go back Not even for the fun I had I left everything at home except for my guitar You can't make a living workin' in the hometown bars Where I made my start It's where she broke my heart Where she said why would you quit your job and move to Tennessee And give up everything you have just to chase a dream I might not ever know but really I don't care But I'll give it everything I've got when I get there I pulled off the Interstate, took a left on Broadway Found out the smoke-filled bars ain't as big as they seem That's not it, the bands play for tips The bartender says he sings Tuesday nights right here But 10 years in the alley and he still ain't got nowhere I said That's tough When do you give up? He said I went and quit my job and moved to Tennessee And gave up everything I had just to chase a dream I might not ever know, but really I don't care But I'll give it everything I've got when I get there A few years later I'm on 16th Avenue Just me and this old guitar and my first interview He says Son, what's so special about you? I said Cause I went and quit my job and moved to Tennessee And gave up everything I had just to chase this dream I might not ever know, but really I don't care But I'll give it everything I've got Yeah, I'll give it everything I've got when I get there (When I get there)
