Billy came to town in a cadillac jalopy
With a song that he was born to sing
But he's never gotten closer to the backstage of the Opry
Than a little Riley Parkway Burger King
Johnny is a genius a real blue collar poet
He's written songs for every star in town
But no one's ever listened no one will ever know it
Ten years have passed and he's still hanging out
Nashville tears keep welling up inside
They come down like falling rain across the years
That old Cumberland river so deep and so wide
Is nothing more or nothing less than Nashville tears
Debbie lost her deal before she signed the papers
Now she lives in a house six stories tall
Where the only songs she sings is to her Lord and Saviour
In a lonely little room with rubber walls
He was a superstar when he was young and handsome
But now he's out of sight and out of mind
He's got a one way ticket but it won't be to Branson
He's headed' down the Cumberland tonight
Nashville tears keep welling up inside
They come down like falling rain across the years
That old Cumberland river so deep and so wide
Is nothing more or nothing less than Nashville tears
That old Cumberland river so deep and so wide
Ain't nothing more or nothing less than Nashville tears
