last song i'm ever gonna sing lyrics

I came to Nashville a long time ago people said that I could be a star
But all I remember is loneliness and hunger oh I sure didn't get too far
This is the last song I'm ever gonna sing the last time I play my old guitar
I wasted my life and I didn't gain a thing oh I'm never gonna be a star
[ steel ]
All the big town operators made a fool out of me it sure didn't feel so good to fail
I slept on ever park bench in ever park in Nashville oh I even slept in the Nashville jail
What will I tell old friends back home they're gonna wanna know what went wrong
I'll just say the Grand Ole Opry didn't have a place for me
Oh they didn't wanna hear my song
This is the last song I'm ever gonna sing...
Oh I'm never gonna be a star yes it's the last time I play this old guitar
