As I drive from your pearly gates I realize that I just can't stay All those mountains, they kept you locked inside And hid the truth from my slotted eyes
I came to you with a half-open heart Dreams upon my back - illusions of a brand new start Nashville, can't I carry the load? Is it my fault that I can't reap what I sow? Nashville, did you give me half a chance With your southern style, and your hidden dance away? (Now you dance away, now you dance away)
All those voices, they whisper through my walls They said I was falling fast, they say I'm losing it all They say I'm running blind to love of my own But I'll be walking proud - I save what I still own
I fell on my knees to kiss your land But you are so far down And I can't even see to stand in Nashville You forgot the human race You see with have a mind What colors are the face? Nashville, I'd like to know your fate I'd like to stay a while But I've seen your lowered states today (I've seen them today, honey, I swear I've seen them today)
Now I'm leaving - I've got all these debts to pay You know we all have our dues - I'll pay 'em some other place I'd never ask that you pay me back We all arrive with more - I left with less than I had
Your town is made for people passing through A last chance for a cause I thought I knew But, Nashville, you tell me what you're gonna do With all your Southern style - it'll never pull you through Nashville, I can't place no blame But if you forget my face I'll never call your name again (No, never again, never again)
I fell on my knees to kiss your land But you are so far down And I can't even see to stand in Nashville You forgot the human race You see with half a mind What colors are the face? Nashville, I'd like to know your fate I'd like to stay a while But I've seen your lowered states today (I've seen them today, honey, I swear I've seen them today I'm running away, I'm running away I'm running, I'm running, I'm running away)
