The Heart of Nashville Tennessee

I remember the songs of Detroit City

Classic melodies; the soul of the streets

Now we listen to the music of today

All I can say - is I long for yesterday

Words so destructive and demeaning

It's hard to believe what they are singing

If this is cool; if this is the way of change

All I can say - is I long for yesterday

What happened to the city boy in me

Sometimes change is really a good thing

I still listen to the music of the streets

The music out of Nashville Tennessee

I remember the sounds of Detroit City

Those sweet melodies; those funky beats

All the memories of back in the day

All I can say - country music is the way

I remember, faith in God; family values too

Love of Country; working for your due

Words of meaning; prayers on bent knees

History; songs out of Nashville Tennessee

Sing the Lord His praise; sing of better days

God bless America - God bless America

God bless the words - God bless the melodies

God bless the heart of Nashville Tennessee
