Nashville You Fooled Me

If I hear one more song about God and country

I may not be long for this world

I woke up near Margaritaville

Me and Saint Dolly my girl

With dreams of the Bluebird, a notebook and pen

I set off for Tennessee

In search of that songwriters paradise

Just like the ones on TV

Nashville you fooled me, you promised me heart

I had pedal steel dreams and you tore them apart

I looked out my window and what do I see

A shooting star falling fast and free

I’m drinking tap water, that’s all I have

In my corporate air bnb

Tornados of tourists and bachelorettes

And cowboys are out to party

Nashville you fooled me, you promised me heart

I had pedal steel dreams and you tore them apart

I looked out my window and what do I see

A shooting star falling fast and free

I’m always looking for a place

The magic of a time and space

So many times I set off blind

It’s always the journey that I find

Seems every place with a legacy

Is swallowed up by enterprise

And time will erase everyone of us and

Out of the stardust we’ll rise

 

Nashville I left you with songs in my heart

Nashville I left you in love with the art

I looked out my window and what do I see?

A shooting star falling fast and free

A shooting star falling fast and free

A shooting star that felt like me
