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