[Intro] [Verse 1] She's new to town, tells the manager At the restaurant, I won't be here long I'm a singer you see, and I got big plans Gonna be a superstar! [Chorus] Yeah he's heard it all before They think they're on their way They're just one break away From being the next Carrie or the next Kasey But they're nothing but another Nashville cliché Nashville cliché [Instrumental Break] [acoustic and electric guitar melody] [Verse 2] He's still in town, playing other's songs At the bar tonight, he's been here too long He's a troubadour with such an angel's voice Was gonna be a superstar [Chorus] Now he’s stuck in this place Where he thought he was on his way Was just one break away From being the next Chesney or the next McGraw Now he's nothing more than a Nashville cliché Nashville cliché [Instrumental Break] [electric guitar solo with double-stops] [Verse 3] Out on the town, slinging whiskey back She catches his eye from up on the stage He asks her if she sings and if she knows Islands in the Stream You be my Dolly and I'll be your Kenny [Chorus] [full band] After the show was over They talked till the sun came back around He's just one kiss away From being the next Johnny to fall in love with June And be nothing but another Nashville cliché Nashville cliché Nashville cliché
