Are You Still Around

Just across the Arkansas border
There’s sits a little one stoplight town
All kind of alike out that way
I was the biggest thing around

Played all the bars, the clubs and the fairgrounds
Locals said I was bound to go far
Took off for Nashville with stars in my eyes
Me and my gibson guitar
A young man and a gibson guitar

Long story short, leaving Nashville tomorrow
My feet are back on the ground
Gave it my all, got chewed up and spit out
Soon I’ll be back in town
Wondering are you still around

Never heard such pickers, songs and singers
Everybody was a legend from somewhere
Walking music row, hoping doors swing wide open
Can be a lonely affair

Played my demo heard all the answers
From stay in touch to just plain old no
I can see clearly the time has arrived
To pack up and bring it back home
Pack up and bring it back home
