Cashville Ben

Let's go down to Nashville

Let's go down to Nashville
See if Ben is doing alright
Meet after work at 8 o'clock
Driving through the night
He just got clean two years ago
Struggling with recovery
You definitely know
How hard it was
To lose his Susie

I heard Avalon has moved on
(Moved on)
Gave up music in the shadow
Of her mom
The town is gentrified
And a lot of our friends have died
He'll always be our grade school friend
Although he's known now as Cashville Ben
Don't know he made it
Man, that town can wear you down
Many of our old haunts have closed down
And showcases have a. commercial sound
Ben always told the truth
Ben was the prince of reckless youth
He'll always be our grade school friend
Although he's known now as Cashville Ben

Remember when you hit on Taylor Swift
At Harris Teeter in the cafe
She took you to lunch that day
Cause you were the perfect stranger
And only Ben knows it's a fact
You two got drunk
And stole the picture of Kenny Rogers
In the laundromat
What would we do without him
Our life would be Southside and grim

We all got our ass kicked in grade school
Ben moved to Nashville and became cool
(became cool)

He'll always be our grade school friend
Although he's known now as Cashville Ben
He owns a famous gallery
But in Nashville, there's no paparazzi
He always helped us out
Now he's in a time of doubt
He'll always be our grade school friend
Although he's known now as Cashville Ben
Misanthropes stay tight
This is the time of get through
He's not important just our best friend
And we knew him when he was teased as Asian Ben
Remember your first love was his sister
How can you forget her?
