This is the last song I'm ever gonna sing
The last time I’ll play my old guitar
I wasted my life and I didn't gain a thing
Oh I'm never gonna be a star

I came to Nashville a long time ago
People said that I could be a star
But all that I remember is loneliness and hunger
Oh I sure didn't get so far

Well the big time operators made a fool out of me
It sure don't feel so good to fail
I slept on ever park bench in ever park in Nashville
Oh I've slept in the Nashville jail

Oh I'm never gonna be a star
Oh I'm never gonna be a star
Oh I'm never gonna be a star
