Just to point out, as no-one appears to have mentioned it so far, there are other cities in the world.

Yes, it's true.

If you can't 'sell lyrics' in Nashville, the original poster could try selling them somewhere else.

Send me a few, dude. I don't write country and I ain't made any money - but then it doesn't sound like you have either. And, you know, it might be kind of fun.

You can hear some of my stuff on the SoundCloud website at http://soundcloud.com/stevecooke. Some of those tracks feature my own lyrics, some were co-written with other wordsmiths.

I've only recently got back into this songwriting malarkey but, hey, I'm getting quite a following now. See you on the 'Cloud.
