Nashville, Indiana

It takes a lot

To keep this whole thing going

And it's a grand facade

To keep the scars from showing

And keep 'em all from knowing

What's really going on

'Cause I'm feeling like some sort of cheaper imitation

Like I'm falling short of every expectation

Like I'm not enough, I don't measure up

I could disappear and it wouldn't even matter

Like Nashville, Indiana

Well I can't compete

When everyone's so damn perfect

They're singing, playing, dancing in the street

Yeah

While me, I just feel deserted

Wondering if I'm worth it

Just trying to keep the hurt in

And find my feet

'Cause I'm feeling like some sort of cheaper imitation

Like I'm falling short of every expectation

Like I'm not enough, I don't measure up

I could disappear and it wouldn't even matter

Like Nashville, Indiana

Nashville, Indiana

Things might not have gone exactly like I planned

But I'm tired of apologizing for who I am

I might not shine as bright as all the lights on Broadway

They might not sing along to all the songs that I play

And I ain't making dreams come true

But I'm doing all that I can do

In my own way

Maybe that's what matters

Maybe there's nothing wrong

There ain't nothing wrong

With Nashville, Indiana

Nashville, Indiana

Or Paris, Tennessee

Or London, Alabama

Come on

Come on and

Take me, take me, take me

Yeah, take me to Nashville

Yeah

Nashville, Indiana

We're singing now

Nashville, Indiana

Hey, come on and take me to Nashville

Nashville, Indiana

Nashville, Indiana
