Nashville Giveth, Nashville Taketh
Never know who you'll end up with
It gave you Haggard, Jones and Waylon
Snatched them from you, left you wailing
This Godlike town always reigns
Nashville works in mysterious ways
Nashville commands, reigns supreme
Place no other Gods before me
Nashville Giveth, Nashville Taketh
Never know who you'll end up with
It gave you Hank, Cash and Cline
Left you grieving, left you behind
This Godlike town is never mocked
Disobey and you'll be shocked
It's omnipresent, it's ubiquitous
It's omniscient, it's omnipotent
Nashville Giveth, Nashville Taketh
Never know who you'll end up with
Singers come and singers go
Who'll be next on Music Row?
