Late one morning I just packed my things[00:04:30]
Burned all my bills and I hopped on a plane[00:04:30]
I told the cops and the bankers goodbye[00:04:30]
They said "Don't let us catch you, you owe us your life"[00:04:30]
Well the plane was headed east and so I was[00:04:30]
Bound for Tennessee to outrun the fuz[00:04:30]
They found me in a day or two[00:04:30]
Now I'm flat busted in jail fightin' the Nashville Blues[00:04:30]
Chorus[00:04:30]
I like George Jones, Willie and Waylon[00:04:30]
I think Kris and Merle are songwriting saviors[00:04:30]
Townes Van Zandt, he died to soon[00:04:30]
But now he's up there with Hank[00:04:30]
And they're both fightin' the Nashville Blues[00:04:30]
Well the songwriting's left up to old hillbillies[00:04:30]
Hippies and rednecks and girls like Miss Emmylou[00:04:30]
I'm too young to have a point of view[00:04:30]
But I just want to be a part of fightin' the Nashville Blues[00:04:30]
Fightin' the Nashville Blues[00:04:30]
Chorus[00:04:30]
Fightin' the Nashville Blues ain't fun no[00:04:30]
It takes it's toll upon your mind[00:04:30]
But all the great ones have been there too[00:04:30]
And they're all fightin' the Nashville Blues[00:04:30]
Fightin' the Nashville Blues[00:04:30]
Well I moved back to Austin to try to make a living[00:04:30]
But it ain't been so easy with those hill country women[00:04:30]
And i'm stuck inside of this 8x12 room[00:04:30]
And my throat's a scratchin' from the cigarettes and booze[00:04:30]
And my face in wrinklin' and my mind's a strayin'[00:04:30]
And I get on my knees and I get to prayin'[00:04:30]
But my hands are worn like the soles of my shoes[00:04:30]
And the Lord only knows I'm just fightin' the Nashville Blues[00:04:30]
Chorus[00:04:30]
I like Johnny Cash, Willie and Waylon[00:04:30]
I think Chris and Merle are songwriting saviors[00:04:30]
And old Keith Whitley he died to soon[00:04:30]
But now he's up there with Hank[00:04:30]
And they're both fightin' the Nashville Blues[00:04:30]
Well the songwriting's left up to old hillbillies[00:04:30]
Hippies and rednecks and girls like Miss Emmylou[00:04:30]
I'm too young to have a point of view[00:04:30]
But I just want to be a part of fightin' the Nashville Blues[00:04:30]
Fightin' the Nashville Blues[00:04:30]
