Nashville Lyrics - David Mead

On a childhood highway through a night alone 

I was barely breathing, I was crawling home 

Well it's not quite London or the south of France 

Or an Asian island or a second chance 

Going back to Nashville, thinking about the whole thing 

Guess you gotta run sometimes 

Maybe I'm a fast train rolling down a mountain 

Watching all my life go by 

You're a distant memory, you're an exit sign 

I was talking crazy on the driver's side 

And I know I hurt you but I can't confess 

Was that blood or a wine stain on your wedding dress? 

Going back to Nashville, thinking about the whole thing 

Guess you gotta run sometimes 

Maybe I'm a fast train rolling down a mountain 

Watching all my life go by 

Going back to Nashville, laughing at a bad break 

What's the use in wondering why? 

Baby, I'm a storm front blowing through the valley 

Tearing up a good July 

And it's safe and warm where nothing ever happens 

Would it be so hard to realign a star or two? 

Change a southern night for you 

Well it's not quite evening and it's not New York 

There's a scar in the blue sky by the old airport 

And I'm talking crazy on the driver's side 

I will always love you like a long goodbye
