Working on a Song

[Verse 1]

My first day in Nashville didn't seem like much of one

Drinking 'til I'd fallen asleep out in the sun

Working on a song I guess I'm still working on

It's called "Where Will I Go Now That I'm Gone?"

[Verse 2]

When that idea first came to me I was only twenty-two

At twenty-five I'd realized it was all that I could do

To make it to the end, but then again, I always knew

If I never got it finished I could die trying to

[Verse 3]

Last night I thought I had it right here in my hotel

Faded out the further asleep that I fell

When I woke up this morning I was more than twice my age

And I had left myself this note here on another empty page

[Verse 4]

"Where Will I Go Now That I'm Gone?"

They said "Maybe you're been chasing a song too long

It's turned into a song about a song you're working on

I mean it's gone, man, come on, let it go"

[Verse 5]

But you know, giving up a dream is just like making one come true

It's easy to sit around talking about, it's harder to go out and do

But for this one last question, I'll give up on this song

"Where Will I Go Now That I'm Gone?"

[Outro]

Now that I'm gone

Now that I'm gone

Where will I go now that I'm gone?
