He tied me up
he beat me up
he drank in Louisiana 
My daddy never loved me

Found this guitar
and kept it hidden
no one to show me how
to play it

I saved a dog
from the raging river
the owner gave me hugs
the reward for me
was he would provide for free
guitar lessons to me

Chorus

Although I am poor
and have no money
I will make it
big in Nashville
Yes,Nashville here I come
Yes, Nashville here I come

Four hours a day 
I play away
and sing with Maelyn Brewster
She's in a chair
her voice on fire
and learn a lot from her

I hitchhike over to Nashville
and stayed in Berryhill
played gigs for years
and got a break
in the Bluebird and the Blue room

Chorus

Although i'm poor
and have no money
I will make it big in Nashville
Yes,Nashville here I come
Yes,Nashville here I come

I sang with Urban
and with Dolly
Blake and Kelly too
I give it back
to my home town
guitars and lessons free

Was du gerade machst

By Mikael Duda

"Was du gerade machst" in ein trauriger Text und spiegelt eine Situation wieder, die wohl jeder einmal durchlebt hat. Die Trennung von seinem Partner ist noch nicht lange her und man fragt sich ständig, was der andere wohl gerade macht. Ist er glücklich? Vermisst er mich? Oder wurde ich schon längst ersetzt? Nach einer Trennung hatte ich genau diese Gedanken und es bereitete mir schlaflose nächte. Die Zeit in der ich nicht schlief nutzte ich dann, um diesen Song zu schreiben. Ein sehr trauriger und depressiver Text.
