Nashville Tennessee Lyrics - Last Minutes & Lost Evenings (cd W/bonus Dvd) - Frank Turner

From the heart of the Southern Downs, to the North-East London reservoirs, 

From the start, the land scaped my sound, before I'd ever been to America. 

And if I knew anybody who played pedal steel guitar, 

I'd get them in my band and then my band would get real far, 

But I was raised in middle England, and not in Nashville Tennessee, 

And the only person in my band is me. 

A simple scale on an old guitar, and a punk rock sense of honesty. 

I cannot fail, I've got this far with no knowledge of mid-west geography. 

And if I knew anywhere where I could drive in a straight line 

For hours in the desert, I'd drive for hours at a time. 

But I was raised in middle England, not in Nashville Tennessee, 

And the only person in this car is me. 

And yes I'm in four-four time, and yes I use cheap cheap rhymes, 

But I try to make a sound my own. 

I know I don't break new ground, many have travelled this sound, 

But I try to make it sound like home.

Well I've been to Texas state, I didn't think it was that f**king great, 

And Nebraska is just a bunch of songs, 

Holloway and Hampshire where I belong. 

And I don't know anybody who plays pedal steel guitar, 

All the city roads are twisted and I do not own a car. 

I was raised in middle England, not in Nashville Tennessee, 

And the only thing I'm offering is me.
