She could dance and she could sing
Dia bisa menari dan dia bisa bernyanyi

She left Texas with her dreams
Dia meninggalkan Texas dengan impiannya

She swore that she could make it on her own
Dia bersumpah bahwa dia bisa sukses sendiri

She was young and she was fine
Dia masih muda dan sangat menawan

She had looks and she had time
Dia punya wajah dan waktu yang banyak

And the feelings of a woman fully grown
Dan perasaan seorang wanita yang sudah dewasa

She hit Nashville like a storm
Dia datang ke Nashville seperti badai

As soft as she was warm
Sehalus dia, sehangat dia

Knowin' she'd be discovered any day
Tahu bahwa dia akan ditemukan kapan saja

But the things she did the best
Tapi hal yang paling dia lakukan dengan baik

Was her overnight success
Adalah kesuksesannya yang datang tiba-tiba

And the singing just got lost along the way
Dan nyanyiannya terabaikan di tengah jalan

(Chorus:)
Baby sings the blues down on Broadway
Bayiku menyanyikan blues di Broadway

Singing from bottom of her heart
Bernyanyi dari lubuk hatinya

Baby sings the blues down on Broadway
Bayiku menyanyikan blues di Broadway

Then cries herself to sleep there in the dark
Lalu menangis sampai tertidur di sana dalam kegelapan

From a blessing to a curse
Dari sebuah berkah menjadi kutukan

Things just went from bad to worse
Segalanya hanya semakin buruk

Life at night worked out the way she planned
Hidup di malam hari berjalan sesuai rencananya

And although her dreams were gone
Dan meskipun impiannya telah sirna

She just couldn't go back home
Dia tidak bisa kembali ke rumah

To a town she knew that would not understand
Ke kota yang dia tahu tidak akan mengerti

Chorus(x2)
Refrain (x2)
