Yes, I like that.


 


Are you saying (from your previous post) that verse two needs a rewrite to make it fit?



 


Yes, although I've already made some adjustments. Sorry, I should have posted them before this.


A few subtle changes in v1 and then, looking for the positive spin on this, v2 helps to change the meaning of the chorus without writing a new chorus.


 


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 that things are gonna change


Because of what she’s heard them say  


ch


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 Nashville’s girl


Someone told her she’ll go far  


Finds herself in olive drab, alone in this world


Angel waiting in the dark   


(But)Her mind is made up that things are gonna change


In spite of what she’s heard them say  


ch


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
