I got into Nashville early

Sleepy, hungry, tired and dirty

In the walkway of the stars

I waited there 'till eight o'clock
Db 
When office doors became unlocked
Ab 
Then I started walkin'

Tryin' to find out who to see

To help me get on record

And to hear the songs I'd wrote

But I found it goin' rough

Everyone was all tied up

Either in a conference

They said that I could leave a tape

But they'd suggest I didn't wait

'Cause everyone was awful busy

Well, they listened to my songs that day

And they both told me that I was on my way
