On a childhood highway Through a night alone I was barely breathing I was crawling home Well, it's not quite london Or the south of france Or an asian island Or a second chance
Going back to nashville Thinking 'bout the whole thing Guess you gotta run sometimes Maybe I'm a fast train Rolling down a mountain Watching all my life go by
You're a distant memory You're an exit sign I was talking crazy On the driver's side And I know I hurt you But I can't confess Was that blood or a wine stain On your wedding dress?
Going back to nashville Thinking 'bout the whole thing Guess you gotta run sometimes Maybe I'm a fast train Rolling down a mountain Watching all my life go by
Going back to nashville Laughing at a bad break What's the use in wondering why? Baby, I'm a storm front Blowing through the valley Tearing up a good july
And it's safe and warm Where nothing ever happens Would it be so hard To realign a star or two? Change a southern night for you
Well, it's not quite evening And it's not new york There's a scar in the blue sky By the old airport And I'm talking crazy On the driver's side I will always love you Like a long goodbye
