lyrics

Well I've only spent one night in Tennessee
and the company was sweet they took care of me
but I could not shake the sense that I
would never be back again
and I just could not believe
that this could be the end

In the morning we got up and packed the van
watched the thunder clouds roll in and made a plan
Oh we thought that we could outrun the
slowly gathering storm
but our escape was poorly timed
we crossed the mountains in the downpour

Nothing that we had was ours to keep
we were singing in borrowed rooms
our harmonies faded away to soon

If you've never played an empty club in Nashville
then you don't know what it's like to feel the thrill
oh the thrill of the calm in the center of the neon hurricane
and if you feel it even once
your life won't be the same

Nothing that we had was ours to keep
we driving on borrowed roads
our conversations disappeared like smoke
Nothing that we had was ours to keep
we knew we couldn't make it on our own
when everything is standing in for something else
oh well there's just too many things to know I know I'll
be back someday but now I'm going home

Well I've only spent one night in Tennessee
and the company was sweet they took care of me
but I could not shake the sense that I
would never be back again
and I just could not believe
that this could be the end
