Nashville

Nashville -David Mead

Written by：David Mead/David Henry

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 Ireland

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
