Nashville Songtext
von Carter Vail

(One, two, three, four)

When I think about Nashville
I think about where you used to live
Your shitty apartment
You only stayed there for a year
You′re standing in the bookstore
Flipping through a field guide
Smiling at the pictures
Of Serengeti wildlife

Oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh

When I think about Nashville
I think about you showing up on my lawn
With your mother
A betta fish tank in your arms
We named it Annie
It only lasted for a month
Isn't that how it always goes, oh?


All in all, I′m pacing by the phone
And I know it never rings
Like a dog without a bone
A dog without a bone

Oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh
(I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go)
(I don′t wanna go, I don′t wanna go)
(I don't wanna go, I don′t wanna go)

When I think about LA
I think about you laying in your bed
Wherever that may be
All the things I should have said
I could have gone out more
American Legion Tuesday fell
I should have gone out more
You should have called on someone else

It's better to see you all on your own
Than know that you′re out there moving on
I wish I wasn't like that


All in all, I′m pacing by the phone
And I know it never rings
Like a dog without a bone
A dog without a bone

Oh-oh, oh
Like a dog without a bone
Oh-oh, oh

(I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go)
Oh-oh, oh
(I don′t wanna go, I don′t wanna go)
Like a dog without a bone
(I don't wanna go, I don′t wanna go)
Oh-oh, oh

It's better to see you all on your own
Than know that you′re out there moving on

When I think about Nashville
I think about packing up the car
I think about it often
Driving through the dark
I smiled for the picture
That we took when Jake was here
I smiled for the picture
Oh-oh, oh-oh
