Nashville Without You

(album: Two Lanes Of Freedom - 2013)

It'd be just another river town
Streets would have a different sound
There'd be no honky tonks with whiskey rounds
No dreamers chasing dreams down

No tourists taking in the sights
No Stetsons under Broadway lights
No pickers playing for pocket change
No rhinestone boots on an old church stage

Hey Blue Eyes, Crying In The Rain
Hey Fire, Burning Round The Ring
Hey Crazy, you know it's true
That Nashville, wouldn't be Nashville, without you

No ghost of the man in black
No long white Cadillac
No woman standing by her man
In the place where it all began

Hey Good Looking, hey Momma Tried
Hey Gambler, hey Country Boy Can Survive
Hey Jolene, you know it's true
That Nashville, wouldn't be Nashville, without you

Hey Georgia, hey Smokey Mountain Rain
Hey Galveston, He Stopped Loving Her Today
Hey Fancy, you know it's true
That Nashville, wouldn't have
Blue Eyes, Crying In The Rain
Hey Fire, Burning Round The Ring
Hey Crazy, you know it's true
That Nashville, wouldn't be Nashville, without you

It'd be just another river town
Streets would have a different sound
