Stuart Marty - Sundown in Nashville lyrics

Written by Dwayne Warwick

The sign says "Welcome to Nashville"

From whatever road you've been down

It seems like the first of the milestones

For here is the city, the town

It's a quaint, old mystical city

Where legends and idols have stood

It's a place, where dreams come to harbor

A country boy's Hollywood

But it's lonely at sundown in Nashville

That's when beaten souls start to weep

Each evening at sundown in Nashville

They sweep broken dreams off the street

You'll walk, down 16th to Broadway

Into a world of heartache and pain

Where hillbilly honky tonk angels

Cry out, from the dark side of fame

You'll find, some discarded love songs

And tear stains all over the ground

In a city where dreams get shattered

And swept to the outskirts of town

But it's lonely at sundown in Nashville

That's when beaten souls start to weep

Each evening at sundown in Nashville

They sweep, broken dreams off the street

They sweep, broken dreams off the street
