Texas Angel in Nashville

เนื้อเพลง

[Verse 1] She was 17 with a pawnshop guitar, Singin' in the kitchen in a double-wide dream, Lubbock wind in her hair, Jesus in her heart, Saw her name in lights she’d only ever seen on a TV screen. [Verse 2] One-way Greyhound ticket, 197 to Music Row, Mama cryin' at the station, "Don't forget your roots" Broadway neon buzzin', where the cold wind blows, Playin' for tips on the floor where the legends wore boots. Oh, she was just a Texas angel in Nashville, With a broken string and a heart of gold, Sleepin' in her car, singin' for her supper, Turned down a hundred times, but she never did fold, 'Cause you can't kill a Texas dream in Nashville, When the voice is real and the soul is true.[Chorus] [Verse 3] Three years of "No, darlin', maybe next year" Waitress by day, ghost in the Bluebird line, Then one night some drunk left his barstool, Said "Girl, sing that song 'bout that Texas sky" [Bridge - Estouro do tenor] And she sang... And the whole room stopped breathin'... All that dust, all those tears, all those miles... Turned into gold. [Final Chorus - Triunfante] Now she's a Texas angel in Nashville, Name on the marquee at the Ryman Hall, She still wears them boots from that little town, But now the whole world hears her when she calls, Yeah, that little girl from nowhere made it in Nashville, Kept her Bible, kept her grit, kept her song.
