Red Eye Orchestra - Nashville (feat. Lola Cole)

I want to go to Nashville
Start a new life
Made a deal with the devil
Now I walk the line
I've heard it all before
Your story's getting stale
Drain my holy grail
Hope I live to tell the tale

I'm gonna ditch my nine to five
For some boots at the five n' dime
Leave my lover behind
For some honky tonk thunder thighs
Well I got down on one knee
In the heart of Tennessee
I said "Oooweee"
That's just where I'll be!

On the road to Nashville
In a grimy greyhound bus
And this mangy bearded drifter
With his lips full of puss
Said I ought to reconsider
And find another route
"This town will eat you up and it'll
Spit you out."

I'm gonna ditch my nine to five
For some boots at the five n' dime
Leave my lover behind
For some honky tonk thunder thighs
Well I got down on one knee
In the heart of Tennessee
I said "Oooweee"
That's just where I'll be!

I woke up in Nashville
Slept beneath the trees
Made a fool of myself
And a friend in Jim Bean
I got no place to hide so I tried to make a buck
Time after time
Dime after dime
I never had any luck

I'm gonna ditch my nine to five
For some boots at the five n' dime
Leave my lover behind
For some honky tonk thunder thighs
Well I got down on one knee
In the heart of Tennessee
I said "Oooweee"
That's just where I'll be!
