Nashville, TN

[Verse 1]

I met you when I had a dream

Not so long ago, it seems

We closed down a million bars

Yeah, you and me, we've come so far

You showed me how to write a song

We wrote some right, we wrote some wrong

I was down and out, you let me in

At times you were my only friend

[Chorus]

So long, Nashville, Tennessee

You can't have what's left of me

And as far as I can tell

It's high time, I wish you well

You build me up, you set me free

You tore down my memories

So you be you and I'll be me

So long, Nashville, Tennessee

[Verse 2]

Now you won't miss me when I'm gone

You're custom made for movin' on

And time to time I'll pass you by

Face that I don't recognize

And who knows? Maybe years from now

You'll be the one I think about

But I just can't imagine that

'Cause I'm not one for lookin' back

[Chorus]

So long, Nashville, Tennessee

You can't have what's left of me

And as far as I can tell

It's high time, I wish you well

You build me up, you set me free

You tore down my memories

So you be you and I'll be me

So long, Nashville, Tennessee

[Outro]

So long, Nashville, Tennessee

You can't have what's left of me

And as far as I can tell

It's high time, I wish you well

You build me up, you set me free

You tore down my memories

You're not who you used to be

So long Nashville, Tennessee
