Nashville

Sitting outside on a Tuesday night
smoking on the porch talking about life  
and those songs that we just can't turn off
 
The stars look nice, the weathers even better
I start to think it's cool we're together  
then his next five words sent me to hell
 
When he said, "honey I'm moving to Nashville.
 
Because this band he represents
has a three story house, a room with no rent
so he can travel free like he always wanted  
 
Live his life like an outlaw for awhile  
buy a few drinks and maybe a smile
I wonder if he'll think about the girl he left
 
When he said "honey, I'm moving to Nashville"
 
Back in the moment, my mouth kinda open  
I said the right words or I was hoping
I didn't want to be selfish like a kid
 
After all no promises were made  
his life had lemons, I was his lemonade  
tried my best not to be sour that day  
 
When he said, "Honey, I'm moving to Nashville."  
 
Drinking inside on a Tuesday night
two random people met for the first time
talking about those songs they just can't turn off
 
Shooting the shit & shooting pool
he wanted her to think he was cool
so he told her this plan he had in the well
 
He said, "I'd like to move to Nashville."
