Leaving Nashville
When I went to Music City to play my songs
My wife duly warned me not to get my hopes too high
Went to all the open mics, I was bold as a whore
Guess a town so full of sound must just get bored
And when I hit the streets man, it was southern cold
I played them all my best ones and was politely told
And the three-piece fiends and craigslist dreams that did unfold
In dreams I'd never hold, dreams I'd never hold
So I'm leaving Nashville, Tennessee come the morning sun
Going back to where these songs mean something to someone
When you said they'd get to me I guess that you were right
But you're the only fan I'll ever need, won't you love me tonight
Oh baby, love me tonight
Thinks she's happy I am home to lick my wounds
Think she wants a family, I think real soon
Think she wants to plant some roots and settle down
And I'm still learning how to be here now
My wife duly warned me not to get my hopes too high
Went to all the open mics, I was bold as a whore
Guess a town so full of sound must just get bored
And when I hit the streets man, it was southern cold
I played them all my best ones and was politely told
And the three-piece fiends and craigslist dreams that did unfold
In dreams I'd never hold, dreams I'd never hold
So I'm leaving Nashville, Tennessee come the morning sun
Going back to where these songs mean something to someone
When you said they'd get to me I guess that you were right
But you're the only fan I'll ever need, won't you love me tonight
Oh baby, love me tonight
Thinks she's happy I am home to lick my wounds
Think she wants a family, I think real soon
Think she wants to plant some roots and settle down
And I'm still learning how to be here now
