Like any other tale on Music Row
It started out with a man and microphone
Another small town star with a Nashville dream
Playin’ all night for beer and gasoline

Next scene is a rust red pick up truck
Tearin’ up the tires in a cloud of dust
You can see the movie in your mind
So what’s so special ‘bout it this time

Trailer parks to Broadway bars
Shootin’ stars and broken hearts
Yeah I know how a country song begins

Bad checks and motel beds
Sunsets and what the heck happens next
How’s this one gonna’ end

Rumor had it there was somethin’ ‘bout a girl
And a pawn shop ring least that’s what I heard
Backstage catchin’ fireflies in a jar
Everyone knows that’s how it starts

Trailer parks to Broadway bars
Shootin’ stars and broken hearts
Yeah I know how a country song begins

Bad checks and motel beds
Sunsets and what the heck happens next
How’s this one gonna’ end

So where’s it wind up what becomes of all his plans
I ain’t gotta’ tell you we all know how it began
