A E7 D D x2

     A              E7
As I drive from your pearly gates
      D          D
I realize that I just canʼt stay
            A                     E7
All those mountains, they kept you locked inside
           D            D
And hid the truth from my slighted eyes
E7                       E7
  I came to you with a half-open heart
D                       D
Dreams upon my back, illusions of a brand new start

   A               E7
Nashville, canʼt I carry the load?
       D               D
Is it my fault I canʼt reap what I sow?
   A                      E7
Nashville, did you give me half a chance
            D                     D               A
With your southern style, and your hidden dance away
       E7                    D   D
Dance away, now you dance away

All those voices, they whisper through my walls
They talk of falling fast, they say Iʼm losing it all
They say Iʼm running blind to a love of my own
But Iʼll be walking proud Iʼm saving what I still own
I fell on my knees to kiss your land
But you are so far down, and I canʼt even see to stand

Nashville, you forgot the human race
You see with half a mind what colors hide the face
Nashville, Iʼd like to know your fate
Iʼd like to stay a while but Iʼve seen your lowered state today
Iʼve seen them today, honey I swear Iʼve seen ʼem today

A E7 D D x2

Now Iʼm leaving, Iʼve got all these debts to pay
You know we all have our dues, Iʼll pay in some other place
Iʼd never ask that you pay me back
We all arrive with more, I left with less than I had
Your town is made for people passing through
A last chance for a cause I thought I knew

But Nashville, you tell me what you are gonna do
With all your Southern style, itʼll never pull you through
Nashville, I canʼt place no blame
But if you forget my face, Iʼll never call your name again
No, never again, no, never, never again

E7                     E7
I fell on my knees to kiss your land
N.C.
But you are so far down, and I canʼt even see to stand

And Nashville, you forgot the human race
You see with half a mind what colors hide the face
Nashville, Iʼd like to know your fate
Iʼd like to stay a while but Iʼve seen your lowered state today
Iʼve seen ʼem today, honey, I swear Iʼve seen ʼem today
Iʼm running away, Iʼm running away, Iʼm running,
Iʼm running, Iʼm running away
