There are dreams we have that make perfect sense to everybody around us. And then there are the ones that make people look at you and wonder if you've completely lost your mind.
Sometimes those are the dreams worth chasing.
“Nashville Stars To Be” is about that kind of dream.
Nashville and the Grand Ole Opry represent something bigger in this song than simply a destination on a map. They're that place in the distance you keep looking toward, the thing you aren't completely sure you'll ever reach, but you keep moving toward it anyway.
The road isn't always easy. There are doubts. There are people who think you're crazy. There are days when the destination feels a whole lot farther away than it did yesterday.
But sometimes there's somebody walking that road with you. Someone who believes when you're having trouble believing. Someone who reminds you why you started. Someone who becomes that guiding star when you're not quite sure which direction you're supposed to go.
That's the heart behind this song. It's not about getting there alone. It's about looking beside you and realizing somebody has been helping you find your way all along.
And maybe Nashville isn't only Nashville. Maybe everybody has their own Nashville. It could be a stage, a career, a relationship, a second chance, or simply becoming the person you've always hoped you could be.
Keep believing.
And don't forget the people who helped light the way.
Because sometimes the greatest part of reaching the dream isn't finally arriving. It's knowing who was beside you on the way there.
We're Nashville Stars To Be.
