A
        She could dance and she could sing

        She left Texas with her dreams
                                                 E
        She swore that she could make it on her own


Verse 2:
          E
        She was young and she was fine

        She had looks and she had time
                                            A
        And the feelings of a woman fully grown


Verse 3:
          A
        She hit Nashville like a storm

        As soft as she was warm
                                         D
        Knowin' she'd be discovered any day


Verse 4:
         D
        But the things she did the best
                 A
        Was her overnight success
                  E                             A
        And the singing just got lost along the way


Chorus:
           D                           A
        Baby sings the blues down on Broadway
           E                        A
        Singing from bottom of her heart
           D                           A
        Baby sings the blues down on Broadway
               E                                  A
        Then cries herself to sleep there in the dark


Verse 5:
          A
        From a blessing to a curse

        Things just went from bad to worse
                                                E
        Life at night worked out the way she planned


Verse 6:
          E
        And although her dreams were gone

        She just couldn't go back home
                                                A
        To a town she knew that would not understand
