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 gonna 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 operator's 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 gonna 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 never gonna be a star

Oh never gonna be a star

Oh never gonna be a star
