Not Exactly Nashville

I always knew I loved you by the truth behind your smile
But my feelings did elude me until I love lost you for a little while
I know it must've hurt you all those things that did not come
But there's a door left open to this house I call a home
To the house I call a home

And it's not exactly Nashville but it's still a good place to be
And the sunrise down on seventeenth is still bright enough to see
It's not exactly Nashville but it's me
Nashville ain't the only place to be

Oh my Lord what have I done
I keep panning for gold in a puddle of mud
Every time I make a brand new start
I pull myself together just to rip it apart
Oh my Lord I feel trapped in this world but not when I'm with you
And there's a place we can go to
You know where it is

(Harmonica Solo)

And I know baby thar there was a time
When I tore myself to tatters just to see you shine
And I know baby that your heart turned to stone
When I got stuck in myself and left you alone
And I know baby that our mirror's in shards
But it's fractured and it's free
And there's a place we still can be

It's not exactly Nashville but it's still a good place to be
And the sun setting off Seventeenth is still bright enough to see
It's not exactly Nashville but it's me
And Nashville ain't the only place to be
No Nashville ain't the only place to be
