This is mostly just a rearrangement of the lines already posted. I tried to use them all but there were a few lines I just couldn't make work out for this. The meter is based on a straight 8 rhythm @90 bpm. Haven't got the chorus figured yet but I think it works out.
Use it or lose it, no matter to me. It was fun to do
V1
It was a cold night in Nashville, as she stepped out of the cab
Free spirit, hiding from life
Huddled on a park bench, holding all she had
Fallen angel waiting for sunrise
Odds aren’t good today that things are gonna change
In spite of the things she’s heard them say

She came to town to make the rounds
Belting out that Country sound
Thought that stardom could be found
But all that getting knocked around
Has left her feeling like a clown
Turned her smile into a frown
Put her feet back on the ground
V2
Was a time she had it good, she was a Nashville honey

Finds herself in olive drab, no room no car no money
Waiting in the dark
Odds aren’t good today that things are gonna change
In spite of the things she’s heard them say

She’d never faced the world alone
And now she is so far from home
