How Many Songs Did They Write Today In Nashville

I wrote this song with a songer-songwriter named John in SCarolina years ago.
He and his band did a recording that I fed into SUNO.

Red is working up a song that made me think of it.

[Intro]
[fingerpicked acoustic guitar, melodic electric bass]

[Verse 1]
[baritone male vocals]
How many songs did they write today in Nashville?
And how many songs describe the way that I feel?
Well there's songs about teenage love
Songs about getting drunk
But how many songs describe the way that I feel?

[Verse 2]
Out on the interstate
Stuck in traffic and now I'm late
I dropped my kid at school
Said my whole pickup made me feel like a fool
I finally showed for work
Grabbed a cup of coffee cold as dirt
I asked my boss for a raise
He turned me down and bought an Escalade

[Chorus]
How many songs did they write today in Nashville?
And how many songs describe the way that I feel?
Well there's songs about teenage love
Songs about getting drunk
But how many songs describe the way that I feel?

[Instrumental Interlude]
[acoustic guitar solo with bass accompaniment]

[Verse 3]
How many songs did they write today in Nashville?
And how many songs describe the way that I feel?
Well there's songs about teenage love
Songs about getting drunk
But how many songs describe the way that I feel?

[Verse 4]
Bought my kid a new car
She crashed some lady on the boulevard
I tried to make the best of it
It cost me three times the estimate
I turn on the TV set
Cable's out again but they want the check
Before my boots hit the floor
Jehovah's Witness at the door

[Chorus]
Well how many songs did they write today in Nashville?
And how many songs describe the way that I feel?
Well there's songs about teenage love
And there's songs about getting drunk
But how many songs describe the way that I feel?

[Bridge]
But none of them describe the way that I feel

[Outro]
Oh how many songs did they write today in Nashville?
And how many of them describe the way that I feel?
Well there's songs about teenage love
And there's songs about getting drunk
But how many songs describe the way that I feel?
[acoustic guitar final strum]
