Somewhere North of Nashville

Came into town with a pocketful of songs

I made the rounds but I didn't last long

Now I'm out on this highway with a bone-cold chill

Somewhere north of Nashville

I lie awake in the middle of the night

Making a list of things that I didn't do right

With you at the top of a long page filled

Here somewhere north of Nashville

For the deal I made the price was strong

I traded you for this song

We woke each morning with hearts filled

A bluebird of love on the windowsill

Now the heart's unsteady and the night is still

All I've got's this melody and time to kill

Here somewhere north of Nashville

Here somewhere north of Nashville

Here somewhere north of Nashville
