Two Hours From Nashville

Numbers flash red on the speed limit sign
It's two hours from Nashville and I'm wasting time
The exits go by for a heart that is mine
It's two hours from Nashville and I'm wasting time

I remember the years, and the days in between
When I was a pauper and you were my queen
No music to read from we played it by ear
Closing the distance between love and fear

Wake in the morning, no money for jack
Waitin on darkness so we could attack
Lay siege to the village and close down the bars
Make our sweet love neath the Cumberland Stars

Numbers flash red on the speed limit sign
It's two hours from Nashville and I'm wasting time
The exits go by for a heart that is mine
It's two hours from Nashville and I'm wasting time

The lights down on Broadway they shine down like rain
Color the hard times and steal all the pain
But the songs don't come easy when you're feeling alone
And pride don't mean nothing when the words ain't your own

The sound of your breath in the still of the night
The touch of your skin to say it's alright
But I look in your eyes, is it fate that I see?
The embers of love or reflections of me?

Left a note on the dresser and a key by the door
No jaded goodbye's like the times come before
And there's numbers in red on the speed limit sign
It's two hours from Nashville and I'm wasting time
It's two hours from Nashville and I'm wasting time
