Nashville Traffic

I’m sitting here in Nashville in a house on a street that shares my name

And I can’t help but wonder ‘bout all the broken hearts that came before me

Did they sit where I’m sitting, walk where I’m walking, see what I’m seeing,

Are they glad we came?

Like children lead by a piper we left our homes to feed the fire again

Oh can you tell me how to get to

Where I want to be tomorrow

Oh can you tell me how to not to

Lose my mind today

Well the conversation lingers on between the busy cars and the gridlock they belong to

And I realize I am one of them and I fear that I have nothing new to say

Well the spirit moves, it’s alive and well but it’s not muse

You got to find that for yourself

Now and then I catch a glimpse but I cannot convince her to stay

Oh can you tell me how to get to

Where I want to (wanna) be tomorrow

Oh can you tell me how to not to

Lose my mind today

I’m sitting here in Nashville and the sunshine feels so good upon my face

And the Mockingbird sings a borrowed song from the loving arms of the Magnolia tree

It’s been raining for some time now but today I feel

My sins have been erased

And the borrowed song reminds me that in this town I’m in good company

Oh can you tell me how to get to

Where I want to be tomorrow

Oh can you tell me how to not to

Lose my mind today

I’m gonna lose my mind

Lose my mind today

And the borrowed song reminds me that in this town I’m in good company
