As recorded by Jamey Johnson & Ronnie Dunn
(2025 release)
[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
DNew kid in town, he's a stoner
G DSinging through a homegrown grin
DUp on stage, he's a loner
AGot a small band of outlaw friends
DYou can tell by his songs he's done some living
G DOh he's danced with a heartache or two
DLate night beer joint women
A DHe's out to walk in ole Hank's shoes
[Chorus]
G DDown on Broadway they come to sing
G DRiding on high hopes, living on dreams
G DStreets are crawling with them here in guitar town
Bm AIt chews them up, and spits them out
G DIt's in the blood that some of them bleed
G DFor some an unsung mystery
G DHard row to hoe here in Tennessee
Bm AWe got them that are and has-beens
G A DAnd never gonna be
[Verse 2]
DSome may drown in the whiskey
G DI've seen them burn out on speed
DA few walk the straight and narrow
ASome stay high on weed
DMost come from little or nothing
G DAll have something to prove
DSongs about losing and loving
A DMost end up just singing the blues
[Chorus]
G DDown on Broadway they come to sing
G DRiding on high hopes, living on dreams
G DStreets are crawling with them here in guitar town
Bm AIt chews them up, and spits them out
G DIt's in the blood that some of them bleed
G DFor some an unsung mystery
G DHard row to hoe here in Tennessee
Bm AWe got big stars, has-beens
G A DAnd never gonna be
[Guitar Solo]
D G D A D
[Chorus]
G DDown on Broadway they come to sing
G DRiding on high hopes, living on dreams
G DStreets are crawling with them here in guitar town
Bm AIt chews them up, and spits them out
G DIt's in the blood that some of them bleed
G DFor some an unsung mystery
G DHard row to hoe here in Tennessee
Bm AWe got big stars, has-beens
G A DAnd never gonna be
G DIt's a hard row to hoe here in Tennessee
Bm AWe got them that are and has-beens
G A DAnd never gonna be
