What It Seems - 10/15/16 03:36 PM
This is my pessimistic answer to Josie’s Music City optimism. ( which I really love-both the optimism and the song ) Over the years I came to realize that some of the best pickers and singers in the world are happy to sit on the front porch. Then there’s those that chase money and fame. After playing on many demos for young singers I became a little jaded about the commercial record biz. There is a lot of disappointment and heartache for those that choose that path, maybe making it all the more sweet for those few that succeed. I’ve heard it said that a pessimist is just an optimist with experience. Just an observation put to song. I hope you like it. Tom

What It Seems
Hope she got the message I left it on her phone
I don't know where she’s coming from
but I've got a good idea where she's going
silver on her fingers diamonds in her eyes
Strumming Grandad’s Gibson alone on center stage
before she’s even born she dies
Playing a game impossible to win
Another dreamer chasing down the dream
So very hard to tell her she doesn’t seem to know
Nashville’s not at all what it seems
Music’s in her family
she sings a real good tune
a thousand other girls ahead of her in line
she’s gonna find that out real soon
Playing a game impossible to win
Another dreamer chasing down the dream
So very hard to tell her she doesn’t seem to know
Nashville’s not at all what it seems
Playing a game impossible to win
Another dreamer chasing down the dream
So very hard to tell her she doesn’t seem to know
Nashville’s not at all what it seems
Hope she got the message I left it on her phone
