WELL I’M LOOKIN FOR A FRONTDOOR ALL THE WAY SOUTH TO NASHVILLE
JUST LOOKIN FOR A CHANCE TO PLAY AND SING MY DREAM
WELL NOW WHO’S GONNA FILL THOSE HONKY TONK BOOTS, WELL I WILL
JUST GIVE ME THE FRONTDOOR TO NASHVILLE TENNESSEE

I’VE BEEN CRUISIN THESE HAUNTS AND HONKY TONKS SINCE I WAS JUST A FIFTEEN
AND I LOVED TO MAKE THOSE PRETTY GIRLS SHAKE WHEN I STRUMMED MY GUITAR STRINGS
YEAH AND WE’D STARE DOWN THE TRACKS AT NIGHT JUST A KILLIN BUDS AND MARLBORO LIGHTS
WONDERIN IF FATE EVER SMILED DOWN ON DREAMERS LIKE YOU AND ME

SO NOW I’M LOOKIN FOR A FRONTDOOR ALL THE WAY SOUTH TO NASHVILLE
JUST LOOKIN FOR A CHANCE TO PLAY AND SING MY DREAM
WELL NOW WHO’S GONNA SING THOSE HONKY TONK BLUES, WELL I WILL
JUST GIVE ME THE FRONTDOOR TO NASHVILLE TENNESSEE

THERE AIN’T TOO MANY CHANCES ROUND MY HOMETOWN
FOR HONKY TONKERS LIKE ME JUST A HANGIN AROUND
WHILE THE SUN’S STILL SHINING YOU GOTTA MAKE HAY
ONE OF THESE DAYS YOU GOTTA MAKE YOUR PLAY

WELL I HEARD OL MARTY STUART SING HOW THE STREETS ARE LINED WITH BROKEN DREAMS
BUT DON’T WORRY HOSS, THAT WON’T BE MY FATE
I GOTTA BROKEN DOWN CHEVY, SHE’S STARTIN TO LURCH
I GOT MAMA BACK HOME BURNIN’ DOWN THE CHURCH
SO TELL THOSE BOYS UP ON THE ROW THAT I’M ON MY WAY

SO NOW I’M LOOKIN FOR A FRONTDOOR ALL THE WAY SOUTH TO NASHVILLE
JUST LOOKIN FOR A CHANCE TO PLAY AND SING MY DREAM
WELL NOW GEORGE JONES WANTS TO KNOW WHO’S GONNA FILL THOSE SHOES, WELL I WILL
JUST GIVE ME THE FRONTDOOR TO NASHVILLE TENNESSEE
