Noah Gundersen - Nashville lyrics

Packed up my piano and a suitcase full of clothes And I went looking for a better place to hide Ride across the border in a broken down sedan With a bottle and a rifle on my mind On and on and on and on the miles stretch for hours The radio keeps spitting out the tunes Every other song is just another tired rhythm Another tired lover's tune It's a long, long way back to Nashville Where I come from, where I been It's a long, long way back to Nashville But I promise I will see you again Through the ice and fog this morning the sun is coming up I'm standing on the shores of the hudson bay Over gla** fired violet, silence, silence Calling up the day And every man is an island, an island In his own special way There's a white ghost out on the water, the water With one good song and nothing else to say It's a long, long way back to Nashville Where I come from, where I been It's a long, long way back to Nashville But I promise I will see you again In heaven
