I met you when I had a dream
Not so long ago, it seems
We closed down a million bars
Yeah, you and me, we´ve come so far
You showed me how to write a song

We wrote some right, we wrote some wrong
I was down and out, you let me in
At times you were my only friend

So long, Nashville, Tennessee
You can´t have what´s left of me
And as far as I can tell
It´s high time, I wish you well
You build me up, you set me free
You tore down my memories
So you be you and I´ll be me
So long, Nashville, Tennessee

Now you won´t miss me when I´m gone
You´re custom made for movin´ on
And time to time I´ll pass you by
Face that I don´t recognize
And who knows? Maybe years from now

You´ll be the one I think about
But I just can´t imagine that
´Cause I´m not one for lookin´ back

So long, Nashville, Tennessee
You can´t have what´s left of me
And as far as I can tell
It´s high time, I wish you well
You build me up, you set me free
You tore down my memories
So you be you and I´ll be me
So long, Nashville, Tennessee

So long, Nashville, Tennessee
You can´t have what´s left of me
And as far as I can tell
It´s high time, I wish you well
You build me up, you set me free

You tore down my memories
You´re not who you used to be
So long Nashville, Tennessee
