I heard you got a life in New York City Nashville just ain't what it used to be Be that as it may, not a single day goes by Without you running through my mind And I don't wanna think about who you must be kissing And I don't wanna wonder where you lay your head It tears me apart to say, that not a single day goes by Without you running through my mind I got blinded by the bright lights down on Broadway There's something about the north just seems unkind So if you ever get your fill of the Big Apple, like I pray you will, You know I'm not that hard to find And I don't wanna think about where you've been without me And I don't wanna hear about a life I'll never know Everything I thought I wanted never seemed to get me high A free man I roam haunted by a love I tried to leave behind You know I only have been meant to do What I thought was right by you I guess I never really factored in Where I'd wind up in the end Just sitting here singing all the words I can never tell you Trying to forget about the one that got away Memories start to fade and all that's left is pain each time You start running through my mind
