Kay with all your singin' talent
Back in Houston, Nashville's all you talked about.
I sold everything I owned to bring you here
Now you'll be famous, there's no doubt.
Last week you knocked 'em out in New York
Tonight Chicago's goin' wild.
Your record on the jukebox don't sound bad.
Kay I'm livin' yet I'm dyin'
Starin' out at music city from my cab.
Caution lights blink out their warning
Some old Big Ben clock, chimes 3 am.
Starvin' hound dogs search a trash can
My gas tank could use 10 dollars worth again.
All the potholes here on main street
Jar my rib cage I could cuss.
The crowd of night life people look so sad.
Kay I'm livin' yet I'm dyin'
Starin' out at music city from my cab.
Two young soldiers from Fort Campbell told me
How they won the war, in Afghanistan.
Sirens echo through an alley some woman said somebody
Stabbed a man.
I rushed miss teenage to the doctor
She begged to give the child my name.
I can't count the cups of coffee that I've had.
Kay I'm livin' yet I'm dyin'
Starin' out at music city from my cab.
Two rose petals on my front seat fallin' from the bouquet
That Jimmy took to June.
Jim kept mumblin' through his tear drops,
"God, she'll live this world with flowers, in her room."
Kay, I showed some drunk your picture
And he made a smart remark.
I hit him in the mouth, boy was I mad.
Kay I'm livin' yet I'm dyin'
Starin' out at music city from my cab.
Fiddles, steel guitars, and pianos, how they play.
Grinding out the latest sounds from Music City, usa.
Kay, although I know I brought you to
The swinging music world
I miss those pictures of the happy times we had.
Kay I'm livin' yet I'm dyin'
Starin' out at music city from my cab.
Kay I'm livin' yet I'm dyin'
Starin' out at music city from my cab.
