She could dance and she could sing   She left Texas with her dreams   She swore that she could make it on her own      She was young and she was fine   She had looks and she had time   And the feelings of a woman fully grown      She hit Nashville like a storm   As soft as she was warm   Knowin' she'd be discovered any day      But the things she did the best   Was her overnight success    And the singing just got lost along the way      (Chorus:)   Baby sings the blues down on Broadway   Singing from bottom of her heart    Baby sings the blues down on Broadway   Then cries herself to sleep there in the dark      From a blessing to a curse   Things just went from bad to worse   Life at night worked out the way she planned      And although her dreams were gone   She just couldn't go back home   To a town she knew that would not understand      Chorus(x2)
