Lately I'm so tired of leaving
Baby, I've been gone too long this time
'Cause the songs aren't as strong as the reasons
Why I have to always say goodbye

Everytime I'm leaving
I leave a part behind

So take me back to Nashville
Where every turn I make is taking me back home
Take me back to Nashville
Where every smile I see is someone else I know
It heals my heart when nothin' else will
Take me back to Nashville (take me back)

Although it makes it tough to remember
'Cause it's hard to make a memory alone
There's a part of every story you keep missing
What of yours I miss while I'm gone?

The hardest part of dreamin'
Is what you leave behind

So take me back to Nashville
Where every turn I make is taking me back home
Take me back to Nashville
Where every smile I see is someone else I know
It heals my heart when nothin' else will
Take me back to Nashville

These miles between are killing me
Won't you please point me back toward home?

Just take me back to Nashville
Where every turn I make is taking me back home
Take me back to Nashville
Where every smile I see is someone else I know
It heals my heart when nothin' else will
Take me back to Nashville
Take me back
Take me back to Nashville

Oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
