[Intro]
C Am G
C Am G
[Verse 1]
C Am G
Pour out your heart in 3:20
C Am G
The one you didn't write for the money
C Am G F
You turn it in, nobody's listening
C Am G
But you got a cut, so the check's coming
C Am G
If it ain't a single, it don't mean nothing
C Am G F
Every girl with a dream wants to be your friend
[Chorus]
F Am G
One day, you're the king, the next you're not
F Am G
It's handshakes and whiskey shots, boy
F Am G F
And throwing up in parking lots all by yourself
F Am G
But you ain't never leaving Nashville
F Am G F
I ain't never leaving Nashville
[Verse 2]
C Am G
Now you're getting calls from old friends
C Am G
They say, "heard your song – wanna write again?"
C Am G F
You're coming up with brand new ways to say no
C Am G
And now you're six months without a hold
C Am G
Every other day, you're getting canceled
C Am G F
Now you're calling up old friends; that's just the way it goes
[Chorus 2]
F Am G
One day, you're the king, the next you're not
F Am G
It's handshakes and whiskey shots, boy
F Am G F
And throwing up in parking lots up on the hill
F Am G
Well, i ain't never leaving Nashville
F Am G F
I ain't never leaving Nashville
F Am G F
I ain't never leaving Nashville
F Am G F
I ain't never leaving Nashville
[Bridge]
F Am G F
Oh, and your friends are friends with country stars
F Am G F
Yeah, they're buying homes and here you are
F Am G F
You're two weeks from sleeping in your car
F Am G
But you ain't never leaving Nashville
F Am G F
You ain't never leaving Nashville
F Am G F
You ain't never leaving Nashville
F Am G F
You ain't never leaving Nashville
[Chorus]
F Am G
One day, you're the king, the next you're not
F Am G
It's handshakes and whiskey shots, boy
F Am G F
And throwing up in parking lots all by yourself
F Am G
I ain't never leaving Nashville
F Am G
I ain't never leaving Nashville
