Frank Turner - Nashville Tennessee lyrics

Your rating:


From the heart of the Southern Downs, to the North-East London reservoirs,

From the start, the land scaped my sound, before I'd ever been to America.



And if I knew anybody who played pedal steel guitar,

I'd get them in my band and then my band would get real far,

But I was raised in middle England, and not in Nashville Tennessee,

And the only person in my band is me.



A simple scale on an old guitar, and a punk rock sense of honesty.

I cannot fail, I've got this far with no knowledge of mid-west geography.



And if I knew anywhere where I could drive in a straight line

For hours in the desert, I'd drive for hours at a time.

But I was raised in middle England, not in Nashville Tennessee,

And the only person in this car is me.



And yes I'm in four-four time, and yes I use cheap cheap rhymes,

But I try to make a sound my own.

I know I don't break new ground, many have travelled this sound,

But I try to make it sound like home.



Well I've been to Texas state, I didn't think it was that fucking great,

And Nebraska is just a bunch of songs,

Holloway and Hampshire where I belong.

And I don't know anybody who plays pedal steel guitar,

All the city roads are twisted and I do not own a car.

I was raised in middle England, not in Nashville Tennessee,

And the only thing I'm offering is me.
