Down On Music Row Lyrics - Dolly Parton

Down on Music Row 

Down on music Row 

If you want to be a star 

That's where you've got to go 

I could feel a change a comin' 

I left my hometown a hummin' 

With my ol' guitar a strummin' 

Songs that I had wrote 

I was on my way to Nashville 

I just couldn't hardly wait 

'Till I could sing my songs 

To the folks on Music Row

From MetroLyrics to You: Our Classic Christmas Playlist 

I got into Nashville early 

Sleepy, hungry, tired and dirty 

And on the steps of RCA 

I ate a stale, sweet roll 

In the fountain at the hall of fame 

I washed my face and read the names 

In the walkway of the stars 

Down on Music Row 

Down on Music Row 

Down on music Row 

If you want to be a star 

That's where you've got to go 

I waited there 'till eight o'clock 

Photos 

When office doors became unlocked 

Then I started walkin' 

Down the streets of Music Row 

Just a walkin' up and down the street 

Tryin' to find out who to see 

To help me get on record 

And to hear the songs I'd wrote 

But I found it goin' rough 

Everyone was all tied up 

Either in a conference 

Or in the studio 

They said that I could leave a tape 

But they'd suggest I didn't wait 

'Cause everyone was awful busy 

Down on Music Row 

But I could feel that change a comin' 

And I just kept right on a hummin' 

With my ol' guitar still strummin' 

All them songs that I'd wrote 

And then Chet and Bob at RCA 

Well, they listened to my songs that day 

And they both told me that I was on my way 

Down on Music Row 

Down on Music Row 

Down on music Row 

If you want to be a star 

That's where you've got to go
