Oh, I love this city, everybody's got a song
It's like a secret we will always meant to share
From the church on every corner to the Broadway honky tonks
We've got a million songs that mingle in the air
And, oh, I love this city
Well, the bus rolled in in Nashville, it parked on holy ground
Beside the red brick of the Mother church of country
For a hundred years the heart would hear, it's been socking up the sound
In other states it feels a secret as a Sunday
And, oh, I love this city
Everybody's got a song
Everybody's got a song
And, oh, it sounds so pretty
When everybody sings along
We've been gone a couple of weeks now and I've playing for the crowd
Sometimes they're looking back as if they knowing well
But tonight I know my family and my friends are in the house
And I just need the story only you can tell
And, oh, I love this city
Everybody's got a song
Everybody's got a song
And, oh, it sounds so pretty
When everybody sings along
But here's a dark night in the skyline, we've got cattle in the field
And we've got ..., puppet shows and poets
And when the river is in flood with all the sorrow that you feel
Well, we've got just the song you need and I think you know it
It's a song that came before us, it's gonna be here when we're gone
Sometimes I think I hear it drifting on the wind
And it tells me there is a city where the band plays on and on
And every soul is gonna sing the last 'Amen'
And, oh, I love that city
Everybody's got a song
Everybody's got a song
And, oh, it sounds so pretty
When everybody sings along
