This is probably one of my personal favorite songs, because its every songwriter, musician and country singer can relate with. the road to not even fame and fortune, butthe road to just get your music heard by everyone is long, hard and the nuber fo people that try and keep trying including me, is the reason I wrote this song.
Lyrics
Nashville Lights
Ed Sullivan III
7/17/26
Neon signs light up the night
Standing on the corner
Waiting for the night to come alive
City nights so full of life
Just a small-town boy
Trying to make his dreams come alive
(Chorus)
I drove from small town tennessee
To make my way in those Nashville lights
Small town roots don't get you ready
For what this towns really like
Look around im not the only one
With stars still in my eyes
I drove from small town tennessee
To make my way in those Nashville lights
Played for tips and empty rooms
Been to every club in town
I gave all I had to give
Should I quit and just go home right now
Then a man walked through those doors one night
He said I really love your sound
Signed me to a three year deal
Hot damn look at me now
(Chorus)
I drove from small town tennessee
To make my way in those Nashville lights
Small town roots don't get you ready
For what this towns really like
Look around im not the only one
With stars still in my eyes
I drove from small town tennessee
To make my way in those Nashville lights
Yeah those Nashville lights
