Asheville Nashville Austin

A purple sky by dawn's first light Along the Blue Ridge Range The clouds fell down on a stone cold town Asheville in the rain Too early for the traffic down on Patton Avenue But there was nothing left to say There was nothing I could do I went from Asheville to Nashville To Austin In the service of a tune I can't get there fast enough I'm always gone too soon I can play the part so well But I never did make the scene Forgotten pieces falling in the spaces in between I raced on over to Nashville Them southern girls don't wait Some friends getting down out east of town Said come and spend the day The stories that they tell And the lies that I believe Sing me one more sad song I'm leaving Tennessee I went from Asheville to Nashville To Austin In the service of a tune I can't get there fast enough I'm always gone too soon I can play the part so well But I never did make the scene Forgotten pieces falling in the spaces in between Heading back to Texas Across the Travis County Line The lights were out in Austin Can't see the city limits sign I made my way in a 2-step haze To a door that I once knew I smiled in the lights of the Continental Club It's good to see you too I went from Asheville to Nashville To Austin In the service of a tune I can't get there fast enough I'm always gone too soon I can play the part so well But I never did make the scene Forgotten pieces falling in the spaces in between
