welcome to Ca$hville

Verse 1
Welcome to the Ville, best city in the country
This is our town
Pull up and let the music turn your whole day upside down
You can hear that 808 rolling, feel it in the sound Tennessee born and proud, we keep our feet on the ground

Verse 2
I lace my boots up slow, then I meet you out on the Southside
Slide guitar crying out loud, oh, wood, heavy drum beat
Smoke rolling off the ribs, the whole block smells so good
Grandmama's on the porch waving while they call out to the kids
A sax man on the corner sends you every kind of blues
Dance with me or lose, boy, hope you got some dancing shoes
Sun drops over the bridge and the signs all start to light
Nobody in a rush, we got this whole town feeling right
I hand you a plate of barbecue, say, "Eat up, my guest"
Ain't a better plate in the country, I bet you my best
I'll show you the wall where the legends wrote their names
For all this town made the sound that the whole world heard, standing tall

Chorus
Welcome to the Ville, best city in the country
This is our town
Pull up and let the music turn your whole day upside down
You can hear that 808 rolling, feel it in the sound Tennessee born and proud, we keep our feet on the ground

Verse 3
Walk down to the river now, the water rolling slow
Warm wind and the music coming out from every door
This city raised me right and I owe it so much more
Everybody here is family, whatever your name
Violin and the guitar trader lick, never the same
Close your eyes, you can feel that soul in the air, no doubt
Faces heavy in the car, every real head nodding out
I never trade this place for the bright lights anywhere
Real people, real love, ain't nobody faking here
We talking till the morning light is coming through the dawn
Now you see why I stand tall for the place I'm from
I'm on, Tennessee in my blood, no matter where I roam

Chorus
Welcome to the Ville, best city in the country
This is our town
Pull up and let the music turn your whole day upside down
You can hear that 808 rolling, feel it in the sound Tennessee born and proud, we keep our feet on the ground
Bridge
Every porch light flickers on, and the whole town knows this song
Grandmama hums the chorus from her rocker, soft and slow
Down at the river the echo carries every word along

Outro
Now you've seen it all
This is the city I've known
Welcome to the Ville
Now you're one of our own
Tennessee in my soul, wherever I go
This is the Ville, and now you know
Come back any time, the porch light's always on
