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't I carry the load?
Is it my fault I can't reap what i sow?
Nashville. Did you give me half a chance with your southern style and your hidden dance?

All those 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 a 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

In Nashville. You forgot the human race,
you see with half a mind, the 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.

Well I'm leaving. I've got all these debts to pay we all have our dues, I'll pay in some other place,
but I never asked that you pay me back,
we all arrive with more, I left with less than I had.

Your turn is made for people passing through,
last chance for cause, well I thought I knew you Nashville

You tell me what are you gonna do with your southern style?
It'll never pull you through.
Nashville. I can't place your blame, but if you forget my face
I'll never call your name again.

I fell on my knees to kiss your land,
but you are so far down I can't even see to stand

In Nashville. You forgot the human race. You see with half a mind.
The 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'm running away.
