Phantom of Nashville
by Branded

Album: That's What I Do

a homeless man wanderin' down music row.

his face told a story of miles of bad road.

was he somebody that i oughta know well i wonder did i see him with hank on some old magazine or was he with elvis up on the big screen why was he living out here on the street well i wondered so i bought him some coffee and then we sat down he said things have sure changed in this sleepy old town it's fine till the time they don't want you around

but i wonder then he talked of a time back in spring '69 when he was a big star it seemed overnight offers were flooding his telephone line but he wondered if he could hold out for a few dollars more and a big star to put on his dressing room door but then his eyes got all misty and then he was gone the phantom of nashville walked on well success is a drink that gets sweeter with time but regret is a cancer that eats you alive is it worse to live life as a question mark sign well i wonder many a good man has traveled this road some you remember some you'll never know but if

you happen to see him just walk by real slow and let the phantom of nashville walk on
