Jesse Dayton Reviews and Interviews

Hey Nashvegas!

"This song is based on a letter I originally wrote to a friend of mine who was an A&R guy in Nashville. If you listen to the words,you can hear it's a funny version of the small-town kid who thinks he's gonna take over the world, only to find out he's just another number in the machine."

Hey Nashvegas
I'm calling on the phone
I'm stuck out here in the honky tonks, wondering what's going on
How's life in the big machine?
I'm living lean but I guess I'm doing fine
And that beat up guitar and a song that whines
'Bout a broken heart from a woman I left behind

Hey Nashvegas
I been pickin' underground
Playing for some new folks and looking for a sound
I still sing my song like a good old boy
I'm praying that they he ain't a dying breed
I just can't dance in a straight line
Circle the floor, that's the way they taught it to me

Hey Nashvegas
I'm coming into town
Playing it the way I was raised, don't wanna put nobody down
Well the antiques and the new heat are here tomorrow, gone yesterday
Yes I've blown some deals for keeping it real
And I ain't so sure if Waylon would've done it this way
