lyrics

goin' down to Nashville
feel it burning in my soul
a miner whistling dixie
walking through the prairie snow
the bar is down on fourth street
i can't wait to get in
goin' to nashville, nashville again

i don't play my own stuff
that ain't what they want to sing
some tunes are left out dying
soaking in the winter rain
some notes are meant for harmony
some church bells they don't ring
goin' to nashville, nashville again

the river's down, ain't it strange
turns the granite rocks to a hall
love, forgive me, i don't need it at all
nashville i ain't coming when you call

love i'm working hard for ya
each day to get my pay
digging in dark dungeons
while my time it fades away
johnny sang a song for us
i sometimes like to play
goin' to nashville, nashville again

the river's down, ain't it strange
turns the granite rocks to a hall
love, forgive me, i don't need it at all
oh nashville i ain't coming when you call

but sometimes the tennessee skyline
slips into my dreams
i write lyrics while you read your movie magazines

the love of a good woman
they say is all it takes
but i'm hellbent on hank williams
i've forgotten how you taste
someday when it's so cold
the tears freeze to your face
goin' to nashville, nashville again

the river's down, ain't it strange
turns the granite rocks to a hall
love, forgive me, i don't need it at all
oh nashville i ain't coming when you call
oh nashville i ain't coming when you call
oh nashville i ain't coming, not at all
