"NASHVILLE"

"NASHVILLE"


THIS TOWN TRIED TO SWALLOW ME UP

BUT ITS TEETH WEREN'T SHARP ENOUGH


LIFE HAD ALREADY TRAINED

MY SKIN TO CALLUS TOUGH


BACK WHEN I DIDN'T MAKE A PENNY

THOSE AROUND ME

STILL MADE PLENTY


BACK WHEN MAJORS SIMPLY WOULDN'T

TOO YOUNG, TOO POP

TOO WOMAN


IT WAS ALL GASOLINE

ON MY WILDFIRE

COUGHING UP ASHES

AS MELODIES

COVERED IN SMOKY MAGIC


DOESN'T IT LOOK GLITTERY

FROM THE OUTSIDE?

MY BLESSED, MY LUCKY

DOESN'T DISQUALIFY

THE SHRAPNEL BEATING

UP MY PRIDE

THROUGH EVERY TWIST

OF THIS RIDE

SINCE I MOVED HERE

WITH MY STARRY EYES

AT FIFTEEN


I LOVE IT HERE

I HATE IT HERE

THEY LOVE ME HERE

THEY HATE ME HERE

I WISH THEY COMPLIMENTED

MY SONGS

LIKE THEY DO

MY LEGS


I WILL NEVER LEAVE

HEART AND FINGERS BLEED

FROM THE WANTS, NO, NEEDS

TO WRITE, TO SING


GATEKEEPER'D WALLS

SO I LEARNED TO CRAWL

NOW MY SECRET POWER

ISN'T THE MUSIC AT ALL


I JUST DON'T QUIT

ELASTIC, RESILIENT

I'LL RUN THE CIRCLES

TILL NAYSAYERS

GO QUIET


UNDERDOG SYNDROME

EVEN WHEN I WIN

TRYING TO DO RIGHT BY

THAT EHAD IN CLOUDS KID

WHO BELIEVED SHE COULD

AND DIDN'T STOP TILL SHE DID

AND WON'T STOP TILL SHE DOES


DEEP IN MY BONES, IT'S MEANT TO BE

AS I SHOW UP AGAIN, ROLL UP MY SLEEVES

I PLAY HARD, I PLAY CLEAN

RUTHLESS FOR MY DREAM
