Bought a ticket and I went down South
Didn't wanna feel, so I went out
Said you're never gonna catch me now, catch me now
And I even met somebody else
Put the thought of you up on the shelf
Then it fell, and man, it hurt like hell, hurt like hell

I, really thought that place was mine

But when I think of Nashville
I think of that bar
That bar on the Eastside where I fell apart
I thought that a city
With a new Broadway view
Would help me start over but that wasn't true
'Cause when I think of Nashville
I think of you

Thought that I could leave you in New York
I'd take my Avenue and you'd take yours
And I wouldn't love you anymore, anymore
But I'm learning that I'll never get far
Hearts break no matter where you are
And I hate the way I miss you, hate the way I miss you

When I think of Nashville
I think of that bar
That bar on the Eastside where I fell apart
I thought that a city
With a new Broadway view
Would help me start over but that wasn't true
'Cause when I think of Nashville

I think of you and I
Will there ever be a place that's mine?
Am I ever gonna be alright?

When I think of Nashville
I think of that bar
That bar on the Eastside where I fell apart
I thought that a city
With a new Broadway view
Would help me start over but that wasn't true
'Cause when I think of Nashville
I think of you

Oh, when I think of Nashville
I think of you
