"Country Music Row" lyrics

Wondered down to country music row
Couple times and I was plenty broke
Rolled along too long on a busted spoke
Never really found my pace

There's another silver lining
Another time for the time being
Living a life so far from what I described as
The righteous way

I heard guitars in every bar
Played one or two of my own songs
We all thought we could groove but
The beat was all wrong
Drank my fill earned my scars
Nobody wants to hear ballads anymore
I'll have that round my good sir and be
Home before last call

Stumbled in the neon rooms
Tuning in to every tune
Only made me miss all the blues
That I've been singing

Fading in and fading out
I'm sure glad that there's no crowd
I let it ring, but not real proud I
Hope no one's seen me

Heard the blues in a lonely bar
If I'd the change I'd pay to hear some more
If there's a feel the blues could cure it's
The one I've been keeping
Drank my fill and I earned my scars
Nobody wants to sing the ballads anymore
I'll have that round my good sir
Keep em' coming till I'm leaning

Drank my fill and I earned my scars
Nobody wants to sing ballads anymore
I'll have that round my good sir
It's time I should be leaving
