Nashville Songtext

von Old 97's

Well I married Caroline
Back in May of '99
It was fucked up at the time
But I figured we'd keep tryin'

Her brother and her dad
They were spittin' mad
When I packed up what I mad
And took off runnin', it was bad
It was mean, I didn't care
And it's gotten me nowhere
So I'm tryin' to be a better man

I turned left turns into right
I turned sunshine into night
I got my ass kicked every fight
No I couldn't get it right

I built castles out of sand
I didn't understand
Why everything I planned
Ran like whiskey off my hands

And my hands were never clean
Things I wished I'd never seen
I'd do anything to wake up
From this motherfuckin' dream
