Nashville

You ask me kindly how it oughta be

But I'm scared I'd be lying

If I said that I could paint you a scene

So just take your Polaroid pictures

And pack your guitar

Take some gasoline, for that rusted machine

And your heart

Ooo oooh oooh

Oh lord

Just know that your mamas

Smiling in heaven

She knows where you are

Lightning in a bottle

And tales of tomorrow

You'll sing

Just know that your Momma taught you

To follow your dreams

So honey you should head down to Nashville

Cross country straight to LA

Hitch hike to Boston

If your car goes up in flames

And sing on the corners

For the lovers who wander your way

But keep your eyes on that meadow

Where your heart wants to settle and just be

But heartache will hit like a freight train

And wash like rain

Some people will act like your friend

But just know that they ain't

So keep your eyes on that meadow

Where your heart wants to settle and just be

You have so much to offer this world

I think it's time that you see

You know your mama she taught me these things

So I said

Ooooh oooh ooh

Ohhh lord

Just know that your mommas

Smiling in heaven

She knows where you are

And the lightning in a bottle

Tales of tomorrow you'll sing

Just know that your mamma taught you to follow your dreams

And I said

Oooh oooh

Oh lord

Just know that your mammas smiling in heaven

She knows where you are
