Under The Nashville Moon

“Under The Nashville Moon” Written By Daniel Paul Gilbert
Daniel Paul Publishing BMI 2010

When I first got to Nashville, An old man_ said to me
Welcome_ to_ Heaven on earth_, A_ song_ writers_ Des_stin_ny_
Many_ folks_ come_, to this old town_, to_ find_ Fame_, with_ a tune
And _ if_ their_ great_, They’ll be singing, pickin guitar, under the honky tonk moon

Some people_ call_ me crazy_, others call me_ a fool_
They_ just_ don’t_ understand_ the kind_ of_ work_ I_ do_
I sing, drink, pick guitar_ at night, writing country tunes_
My heaven on earth_ is singing pickin guitar_ under the honky tonk moon

***************Chorus***************

Pour_a cup_ of_ coffee, Drink_ a shot_ of whiskey_ play another country song,
I ain’t afraid of nothing_cause nothing_ ain’t done did me wrong
My oh my_ I’m_ a lucky guy_, But_ I ain’t no_ better_ then you
My heaven on earth_ is singing picking guitar_, under the honky tonk moon
My heaven on earth_ is singing picking guitar_, under the Nashville moon

****Solo******

My_ daddy_ was_, a_ famous_ man
Some folks_ called_ him_ Great (Hank)
He_ liked to sing_ pick_ guitar__ , till_ the early_ morning came_
When_ he got home_, he would _write_ till dawn_, picking some_ coun-try_Blues_
I_ can_ still_him_ singing, pickin and drinkin, under that honky tonk moon
His heaven on earth, was _singing, pickin guitar_ under the Nashville moon_

***************Chorus***************

Pour_a cup_ of_ coffee, Drink_ a shot_ of whiskey_ play another country song
I ain’t afraid of nothing_cause nothing_ ain’t done did_ me_ wrong
My oh my_ I’m_ a lucky guy_, to have_ friends_ Just like_ you_
Sitting here_ singing_ picking_ and drinking_, under the honky moon_
My Heaven on earth_ is singing picking guitar_, under the Nashville moon
***When you come to_ Nashville_ go out_ and look at The Moon_, Late at_ Night_ There_ might be a concert_ starting _very_ soon_, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams Sr too_ They might_ play a concert_ under the_ old honky tonk_ moon_ Their Heaven on Earth_ was singing picking guitar _ under the Nashville Moon
