This is the last song I’m ever going to sing
The last time I’ll play my old guitar
I wasted my life and I didn’t gain a thing
Oh I’m never gonna be a star

I came to Nashville a long time ago
People said that I could be a star
But all that I remember is loneliness and hunger
Oh sure didn’t get so far

This is the last song I’m ever going to sing
The last time I’ll play my old guitar
I wasted my life and I didn’t gain a thing
Oh I’m never gonna be a star

The big time operators made a fool out of me
It sure don’t feel so good to fail
I’ve slept on every park bench in every park in Nashville
Oh I slept in a Nashville jail

This is the last song I’m ever going to sing
The last time I’ll play my old guitar
I wasted my life and I didn’t gain a thing
Oh I’m never gonna be a star
Oh I’m never gonna be a star
Oh never gonna be a star
Oh I’m never gonna be a star
