VietNashville
By Houston Marchman

[Intro Chords]
G Cadd9 G Cadd9

G
I was just 22 when I hit the road
Cadd9
Searching for truth, passion, and gold
G
I had an old 6-string, beat up and cracked
Cadd9
Hitched all they way and I wasn't coming back
G Cadd9
From Nashville , VietNashville
G
I hit town in the middle of the night
Cadd9
I walked 16th, stared at the lights
G
My soul was on fire, passion it rose
Cadd9
I had a young man's dream but I was an old man's fool
G Cadd9
There in Nashville, VietNashville

[Chorus]
Em D
Gotta little harder, Lord every day
Cadd9 Cadd9/B Cadd9/A Am D
Texas got farther and farther away
G C
From VietNashville, yeah VietNashville

G
Well I started pushing my songs and knocking on doors
Cadd9
Most everyday I felt more like a w***e
G
A man said, "Son, son you gotta write
Cadd9
For an 8th grade level divorced housewife here
G Cadd9
In Nashville,", VietNashville
G
He said, "It's about money boy, money in the bank
Cadd9
Country ain't into no existential angst
G
Write for the cash, not for the soul."
Cadd9
Right then I knew man I's bound to roll
G Cadd9
Outta Nashville, Yeah, VietNashville

[Chorus]
G
Yeah, Lord I found me this friend, I called him ponytailed Johnny
Cadd9
Had hair to his ass, the pot made him melancholy
G
Got us in this gig down on lower Broadway
Cadd9
He told us bout a joint, man, they never could pay us
G Cadd9
In Nashville, VietNashville
G
We'd play our songs, and play em some covers
Cadd9
Their favorite tune was "Redneck Mother"
G
We got fired one night down in Fort Sill
G
To get out alive, I'd-a lost that bet
Em D
When this big biker chick, she grabbed Johnny's hair
Cadd9 Cadd9/B Cadd9/A Am D
I've never seen a woman get hit with a chair,
G Cadd9 G
hell, 'cept Nashville, Yeah, VietNashville, ohh Vietnashville

G
Well, ten years later in the middle of the night
Cadd9
I slipped out of town, but I was feelin' alright
G
Nashville, I owe you a lesson in life
Cadd9
Stand up for yourself and what you think?s right
D
Play what you feel, play it straight up
Cadd9 D
If you don't hear a single, man, I don't give a f**k
G Cadd9
About Nashville, Yeah, VietNashville
