[Verse 1]
On a childhood highway through a night alone
I was barely breathing, I was crawling home
Well itâs not quite London or the south of France
Or an Asian island or a second chance
[Chorus]
Going back to Nashville, thinking âbout the whole thing
Guess you gotta run sometimes
Maybe Iâm a fast train rolling down a mountain
Watching all my life go by
[Verse 2]
Youâre a distant memory, youâre an exit sign
I was talking crazy on the driverâs side
And I know I hurt you but I canât confess
Was that blood or a wine stain on your wedding dress
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Going back to Nashville, laughing at a bad break
Whatâs the use in wondering why?
Baby, Iâm a storm front blowing through the valley
Tearing up a good July
And itâs safe and warm where nothing ever happens
Would it be so hard to realign a star or two?
Change a southern night for you
[Outro]
Well itâs not quite evening and itâs not New York
Thereâs a scar in the blue sky by the old airport
And Iâm talking crazy on the driverâs side
I will always love you like a long goodbye
