Nashville is a Ghost Town Tonight

Gas tank low

Rolling slow

Tennessee air tastes like heavy iron and ash

I should have given Nashville a miss

The neon's just a lie

Cold rain

Wet boots

Empty stage at the back of a bar

You weren't there

No you weren't there

I looked through the window

Looking for your face in the crowd

Looking for a reason to stay

Looking for a way out

Chorus

Nashville is a ghost town tonight

Without you standing in the light

I'm singing to the walls

I'm singing to the floor

I'm singing to the ghosts of what we were before

What we were before

What we were before

Post-Chorus

Oh lord

Down low

Gone now

Verse 2

No work

Payphone

Jingling nickels in a jacket pocket

Manager says the slot is filled

He didn't care

No he didn't care

I called your sister

She said you moved to the coast

She said you never ask for me

She said you finally let it go

Finally let it go

Finally let it go

Chorus

Nashville is a ghost town tonight

Without you standing in the light

I'm singing to the walls

I'm singing to the floor

I'm singing to the ghosts of what we were before

What we were before

What we were before

Bridge

Broken strings and bitter coffee

Highway lines and heavy hearts

I came for the fame

I came for the girl

I came for nothing at all

I saw the truth

I saw the end

I saw the road back home

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Nashville is a ghost town tonight

Without you standing in the light

I'm singing to the walls

I'm singing to the floor

I'm singing to the ghosts of what we were before

What we were before

What we were before

Outro

Should have missed it

Just a miss

Keep on driving

Driving south

Past the sign

Leaving it behind

Leaving it behind
