As I drive from your pearly gates
I realize that I just can't stay
All those mountains they kept you locked inside
And hid the truth from my slighted eyes
I came to you with a half-open heart
Dreams upon my back illusions of a brand new start
Nashville
Can' I carry the load
Is it my fault I can't reap what I sow
Nashville
Did you give me half a chance
Withe your Southern style and your hidden dance
Away and you dance away and you dance away
All these voices they whisper through my walls
They talk of falling fast they say I'm losing it all
They say I'm running blind to love of my own
But I'll be walking proud I'm saving what I still own
I fell on my knees to kiss your land
But you are so far down I can't even see to stand
Nashville
You forgot the human race
You see with half a mind what colors hide the face
Nashville
I'd like to know your fate
I'd like to stay awhile but I've seen your lowered state today
I've seen it today honey I swear I've seen it today
Now I'm leaving I got all these debts to pay
You know we all have our dues I'll pay 'em some other place
I 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 you knew
Nashville
Tell me what you are gonna do
With all your Southern style it'll never pull you through
Nashville
I can't place no blame
But if you forget my face I'll never call your name again
Never no never again ah no
I fell on my knees to kiss your land
But you are so far down I can't even see to stand
Nashville
You forgot the human race
You see with half a mind what colors hide the face
Nashville
I'd like to know your fate
I'd like to stay a while but I've seen your lowered state today
I've seen 'em today honey I swear I've seen 'em today
I'm running away I'm running away I'm running I'm running away
