Wake Me up in Nashville

Boarding the train I don't know if I will ever see her again

But of one thing I am sure I'm headed off to war and I may not come back again

So what's the cost to win people say will change the world but where do I fit in

At least I can wave goodbye to the apple of my eye oh this crazy crazy world

So don't let me sleep I've got a promise to keep

You will be on my mind saying be strong in this fight carrying me through these troubled times

So wake me up in Nashville because it's where I want to be

And I will meet you on the platform at 3:15

And I will look into your eyes in the fading autumn light

Wake me up in Nashville let me hold you tonight

Do you understand as I put that twenty dollars in your hand

The task that you must do may mean little to you but it means everything to me

Now my friends they may get lost as they're fighting for what they believe

But if you are all I've got, your picture in my pocket watch

Capturing that smile is all I want to do for now

I may be gone a while but I will make it back somehow

So wake me up in Nashville because it's where I want to be

And I will meet you on the platform at 3:15

And I will look into your eyes in the fading autumn light

Wake me up in Nashville let me hold you

I'm pulling into Nashville and that's where i want to be

Got 15 seconds till I see you and I hold you tenderly

But he says sir you must wake I've made a terrible mistake

Now it’s 4am you said on you I could depend from Pensacola onto journeys end

So wake me up in Nashville because it's where I want to be

And I will meet you on the platform at 3:15

And I will look into your eyes in the fading autumn light

Wake me up in Nashville let me hold you tonight

And let me hold you tonight

Let me hold you tonight

And let me hold you tonight

Let me hold you tonight
