Lo Carmen - Now You Know Nashville Lyrics

I arrived with nothin' 'cept a copy
Of a dog eared tour guide
But I knew where to get my coffee
And where to get my wash and dried
So I set out to see the sights
And find the place I hoped I'd call my home
I'd travelled long and well prepared
I planned to make my future there
Open hearted, wide eyed and alone
But I had 'Now You Know Nashville'
Gripped tightly in my hands
And every time I turned a page
I got closer to understandin'
I was standin' on a corner tryin' a read my map
And make some sense of anything
When on my shoulder I felt a tap
And when I turned my heart did sing
There he stood, yeah, a cowboy type
Can I help you Miss? he drawled
He took me all around the town
Really knew how to show me round
Every step we took I was enthralled
He said now you're getting' to know Nashville
It's hard to hold right in your hands
And every door that we went through
I began to understand
We whirled and twirled
Around his world
Until it felt almost like home
I knew it could make it then
Knew I could make it on my own
Time to lay it on ya girl
He smiled large and sat me down
Watch out for sharks and real smooth talkers
Keep away from Johnnie Walker
And I know you'll make it in this town
I didn't mean to break your heart
I know you're fresh off the bus
And I never like to see a girl go wrong
Think of it as public service
You know I never meant to hurt ya
And now you got the makin's of a song
And now you know Nashville
Now you hold it in your hands
And with every song you sing
I know you'll understand
And now you know Nashville
There's a dream in every plan
With every song you sing
I know you'll understand
