Finally Got to Nashville

I couldn't beg or steal or borrow
I couldn't find my way alone
Bet it all on come tomorrow you'd be there
No matter where the music took me home

I finally got to Nashville, finally I made the grade
I'm thinking 'bout those dues I had to pay
I finally got to Memphis, finally got out of town
But when I looked you were nowhere to be found

I should've known you'd tire of waiting
Spent too many nights alone
But don't tell me about frustrating
I've been there
Yeah, I've been there
As I stand drenched to the bone

I finally got to Nashville, finally I made the grade
I'm thinking 'bout those plans we made
I finally got to Memphis, finally got out of town
But when I looked you were nowhere to be found

It's been a long time since I've seen you
I heard that you've been doin' fine
But I wouldn't let that come between you and I
Oh, but I try not to read between the lines

You finally got to Nashville, finally you made the grade
Do you think about those promises we made?
You finally got to Memphis, finally got out of town
But when you looked I was nowhere to be found
When you looked there was no one around
