Nashville

Well, there's no more
Honky-tonks in nashville
All the patrons either
Died or moved to l.a.
And the jukebox only plays
The ghost of broadway
Lord i'm dying
To have a drink
The old time way
Chorus:
With loneliness
As my companion
And a teardrop on the bar
With an angel
Right beside me
And sawdust on the floor
With a waitress
Who won't hear me
And a band that plays
What i want to say
Like lord
I'm the one that's dying
Oh, i'm dying
To have a drink
The old time way
Please no more talk
Of it's salvation
The city slept right
Tthrough its own parade
The drunks
Have all departed
To dig me a grave
Lord, i'm dying
To have a drink
The old time way
(chorus)
Well sadness
Must have ended the day
The king forgot to say
He went mad with desire
Over the love he gave away
And songs lost their meaning
On the fateful day
A singer counted his money
And forgot the good old ways
I woke up
With a woman from the alley
Where she learned
To dance the late night show
I said i'd write you a song
When you leave me
She said sing it
The old time way
(chorus)
