I never wandered about without the fear of getting lost I never loved a girl without the worry of being tossed Nothing in the air I breathe suggests that I’ll run out Let my reflection in the river water remove all my doubt Nashville you’re slipping right through my fingers But I know there’s a life for us here Don’t you feel like something’s missing One day it will all seem so clear The sun’s coming up not a moment too soon we’re on our way out the door There’s nothing quite like the day after a night spent on the floor I’m living a lie, and there’s no way to slow back down We’ll say our goodbyes and get the hell right out of town Nashville you’re slipping right through my fingers But I know there’s a life for us here Don’t you feel like something’s missing One day it will all seem so clear Can’t deny a love that’s going under Don't wanna try to live with any other Black sky above will never cover How can I hold on to something without being held back Some nights I will dream about the places we will go Maybe our wishes all come true or maybe we just get old
