TRAIN TO NASHVILLE
[ country ]


      I went off to see the big world from life down on the family farm
      But I learned real quick the good life is back where I was born
      This big city job is history, gonna punch out one last time (last time)
      Waitin’ for that final whistle an’ I’ll be movin’ on down the line

      Gonna take the train to Nashville, head on home to Tennessee
      A free n’ easy voice is callin’ younder south of Bowlin' Green
      Might go all the way to Jackson, the Memphis blues don’t bother me
     (don't bother me)
      Livin’ in the state of Graceland’s the only way (only way, only way)
     I can be free

      Cost a rich man twenty million to fly part way up to the moon
      He an’ the Russians who went with him, they came back singin' freedom's
     tune
      An' when they lay me in the cold ground, jus’ play Amazin’ Grace for me
     (for me)
      And if they ask where I prefer to spend eternity

      Gonna take the train to Nashville, head on home to Tennessee
      A free n’ easy voice is callin’ younder south of Bowlin' Green
      Might go all the way to Jackson, the Memphis blues don’t bother me
     (don't bother me)
      Livin’ in the state of Graceland’s the only way (only way, only way)
     I can be free

      These high-rise city rules are jus’ way too tight for me
      Livin’ in the state of Graceland’s the only way (only way, only way)
     I can be free
      Play a little guitar for the king, home sweet home, Tennessee
     (Tennessee. . .  take that train)
