Nashville

When I think about Nashville

I think about where you used to live

Your shitty apartment

You only stayed there for a year

You standing in a bookstore

Flipping through a field guide

Smiling at pictures

Of Serengeti wildlife

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

When I think about Nashville

I think about you showing up on my lawn

With your mother

A beta fish tank in your arms

We named it Annie

Dress so warm, come back soon

It only lasted for a month

Isn't that how it always goes

Oh-oh-oh

All in all, I'm pacing by the phone

And I know it never rings

Like a dog without a bone

A dog without a bone

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

I don't wanna go

I don't wanna go

I don't wanna go

I don't wanna go

I don't wanna go

I don't wanna go anymore

When I think about L.A.

I think about you laying in your bed

Wherever that may be

All the things I should have said

I could have gone out more

Undone, and I can't forget about it

American Legion Tuesday fell

I should have gone out more

Undone, and I can't forget about it

You should have called on someone else

It's better to see you all on your own

Than know that you're out there moving on

I wish I wasn't like that

All in all, I'm pacing by the phone

And I know it never rings

Like a dog without a bone

A dog without a bone

Oh-oh-oh

Like a dog without a bone

Oh-oh-oh

I don't wanna go

I don't wanna go

Oh-oh-oh

I don't wanna go

Like a dog without a bone

I don't wanna go

I don't wanna go

I don't wanna go

Oh-oh-oh

But it's better to see you all on your own

Than know that you're out there moving on

When I think about Nashville

I think about packing up the car

I think about it often

Driving through the dark

I smiled for the picture

That we took when Jake was here

I smiled for the picture

Oh
