Nashville Songtext / Lyric

On a childhood highway through a night alone

I was barely breathing, I was crawling home

Well it's not quite London or the south of France

Or an Asian island or a second chance



Going back to Nashville, thinking about the whole thing

Guess you gotta run sometimes

Maybe I'm a fast train rolling down a mountain

Watching all my life go by



You're a distant memory, you're an exit sign

I was talking crazy on the driver's side

And I know I hurt you but I can't confess

Was that blood or a wine stain on your wedding dress?






Going back to Nashville, thinking about the whole thing

Guess you gotta run sometimes

Maybe I'm a fast train rolling down a mountain

Watching all my life go by



Going back to Nashville, laughing at a bad break

What's the use in wondering why?

Baby, I'm a storm front blowing through the valley

Tearing up a good July



And it's safe and warm where nothing ever happens

Would it be so hard to realign a star or two?

Change a southern night for you



Well it's not quite evening and it's not New York

There's a scar in the blue sky by the old airport

And I'm talking crazy on the driver's side

I will always love you like a long goodbye
