Somewhere North of Nashville

Came into town with a pocketful of songs

I made the rounds

But I didn't last long

Now I'm out on this highway

With a bone-cold chill

Somewhere north of Nashville

I lie awake in the middle of the night

Makin' a list of things that I didn't do right

With you at the top of a long page filled

Here, somewhere north of Nashville

For the deal I made, the price was strong

I traded you for this song

We woke each morning with hearts filled

Bluebird of love on the windowsill

Now the heart's unsteady, and the night is still

All I've got's this melody, and time to kill

Here, somewhere north of Nashville

Here, somewhere north of Nashville

Here, somewhere north of Nashville
