Sundown In Nashville Lyrics - Stuart Marty

Written by Dwayne Warwick 

The sign says "Welcome to Nashville" 

From whatever road you've been down 

It seems like the first of the milestones 

For here is the city, the town 

It's a quaint, old mystical city 

Where legends and idols have stood 

It's a place, where dreams come to harbor 

A country boy's Hollywood 

But it's lonely at sundown in Nashville 

That's when beaten souls start to weep 

Each evening at sundown in Nashville 

They sweep broken dreams off the street 

You'll walk, down 16th to Broadway 

Into a world of heartache and pain 

Where hillbilly honky tonk angels 

Cry out, from the dark side of fame 

You'll find, some discarded love songs 

And tear stains all over the ground 

In a city where dreams get shattered 

And swept to the outskirts of town 

But it's lonely at sundown in Nashville 

That's when beaten souls start to weep 

Each evening at sundown in Nashville 

They sweep, broken dreams off the street 

They sweep, broken dreams off the street
