Ka

Kay with all your singing talent back in Houston Nashville's all you talked about
I sold everything I owned to bring you here now you'll be famous there's no doubt
Last week you knocked 'em out in New York tonight Chicago's going wild
Kay Your new record on the jukebox don't sound bad
Kay I'm living yet I'm dying staring out at Music City from my cab

Caution lights blink out their warning some old faithful Big Ben clock chimes three a.m.
Starving hound dogs search the trash can my gas tank could stand a dollars worth again
All those chuckholes here on Main Street jar my rib cage I can cuss
Kay The crowd of nightlife people look so sad
Kay I'm living yet I'm dying staring out at Music City from my cab

Two young soldiers from Fort Campbell told me how they fought a war they never won
Sirens echoed through an alley and some woman said some fellow stabbed a man
I rushed Miss Teenage to the doctor she begged to give the child my name
Ive lost count of cups of coffee that I've had
Kay I'm living yet I'm dying staring out at Music City from my cab

Three rose petals on my front seat fallen from the bouquet Jimmy took to June
Jim kept mumbling through his teardrops God she'll leave this world with flowers in her room
Kay I showed some drunk your picture and he made some smart remark
So I hit him in the mouth for was I mad
Kay I'm living yet I'm dying staring out at Music City from my cab

Guitars, organs, horns, violins, and pianos how they play
Grinding out the latest sounds from Music City USA
Kay although I know I've lost you to the swinging music world
I kiss pictures of those happy times we've had
Kay I'm living yet I'm dying staring out at Music City from my cab
Kay I'm living yet I'm dying staring out at Music City from my cab
