Off Music Row Lyrics by Phyllis Sinclair

Fence Posts and Stones

2006

She said she came from Missouri, had her guitar in her hand
She stood in line to take the mic and sing her song with the backup band
She sang her heart out to the crowd, hoping to be a star
But, all she got were smoke rings and whistles from the bar
Around it goes, off Music Row
Another dreaming hopeful, dealt a crushing blow
Through the round, of Nashville town
Where songs are a dime a dozen on Broadway Street downtown
He said he came from Milwaukee, met with some success
A publisher took down his name but hе hasn’t heard from him yet
He told of how hе wrote a song with a writer who claimed some fame
He heard the song on the radio, but it went by another name
Around it goes, off Music Row
Another dreaming hopeful, dealt a crushing blow
Through the round, of Nashville town
Where songs are a dime a dozen on Broadway Street downtown
He worked the gift shop at the Opry, while writing songs on the side
One caught the ear of a singer, now his song’s heard nationwide
He thinks of what his father said, when his song went number one “Success is hard to get, even harder to hold
You better know what you want, Son “
Around it goes, around it goes, around it goes
Around it goes, off Music Row
Another dreaming hopeful, dealt a crushing blow
Through the round, of Nashville town
Where songs are a dime a dozen on Broadway Street downtown
Around it goes, Around it goes, Around it goes, Around it goes
