Asheville Nashville Austin

[Verse 1]

A purple sky, [?] along the blue ridge range

The clouds fell down on a storm-cold town, asked [?] in the rain

[?] down on Patton Avenue

There was nothing left to say, and there was nothing I could do

[Chorus]

Oh, we were passing Asheville to Nashville to Austin

In the service of a tune

Well, I can't get there fast enough

I'm always gone too soon

Well, I could play the part somewhere

But I never did make a scene

Forgottеn pieces falling

In the spacеs in between

[Verse 2]

Raced on north to Nashville, them southern girls don't wait

Some friends getting down out east of town, to come and spend the day

Well, the stories that they tell and the lies that I believe

Sing me one more sad song, I'm leaving Tennessee

[Chorus]

I went from Asheville to Nashville to Austin

In the service of a tune

Well, I can't get there fast enough

I'm always gone too soon

Well, I could play the part somewhere

But I never did make a scene

Forgotten pieces falling

In the spaces in between

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Heading back to Texas, cross the Travis County line

The lights were out in Austin, can't see the city limits sign

Well, I made my way in a two step pace, to a joint that I once knew

Smiled, and the [?], "It's good to see you, too"

[Chorus]

Went from Asheville to Nashville to Austin

In the service of a tune

Well, I can't get there fast enough

I'm always gone too soon

Well, I could play the part somewhere

But I never did make a scene

Forgotten pieces falling

In the spaces in between

Forgotten pieces falling

In the spaces in between
