[Verse 1] Well I moved to the land of music and the promises The land of traffic jams, restaurants and offices A coffee in my hand just to help me fight the awkwardness Was it in another town where this is where the party is So there I go, jumping on the bandwagon Raise a glass for every record deal I ain't havin' Funny enough, I didn't come to make my dreams happen I just came to be [Chorus] Singin' first of all Don't do it for the money 2nd of all, don't work for free You got a gift to share Some change to spare For those who need the opportunity You got to breathe it in When you're walking though the roses But chase the one that you're meant to be And most of all, just love all the people you see And that tip's on me [Verse 2] Yeah, I'm still figurin' out the ways of my new town and city Full of dreamers And we're payin' the bills somehow You've probably seen them all livin' it up in SoCal But only Tennessee knows the meaning of a hoedown You've probably heard about some daughters in a bakery You've definitely heard about the music industry But people are the real heartbeat of the community And that's fine by me [Chorus] Singin' first of all Don't do it for the money 2nd of all, don't work for free You got a gift to share Some change to spare For those who need the opportunity You got to breathe it in When you're walking though the roses But chase the one that you're meant to be And most of all, just love all the people you see And that tip's on me [Post-Chorus] Oh oh, na na na na na na Oh oh, na na na na na na Oh oh, na na na na na na Na na na na na na [Bridge] Well Nashville is alive and kickin' Hit you in the senses like a fresh hot chicken Some people think that all you gotta do is write a hit Then take it to the radio and now you're makin' millions But you know it doesn't work that way You write a couple hundred songs Only one gets played But that's ok A minute to communicate But you know I got a lot to say [Chorus] Singin' first of all Don't do it for the money 2nd of all, don't work for free You got a gift to share Some change to spare For those who need the opportunity You got to breathe it in When you're walking though the roses But chase the one that you're meant to be And most of all, just love all the people you see And that tip's on me [Post-Chorus] Oh oh, na na na na na na Oh oh, na na na na na na Oh oh, na na na na na na Na na na na na na [Outro] You got to breathe it in When you're walking though the roses But chase the one that you're meant to be And most of all, just love all the people you see And that tip's on me
