The Waterboys - Nashville, Tennessee lyrics

It wasn’t easy leaving Memphis But I needed me a gig And I had this crazy beautiful feeling, man I was on the cusp of something big So I hit the interstate to Nashville And I made my noble stand Paying off some old karma With the Stacy Mitchhart Band I’m a Music City blow-in Cause this is where I need to be I’m one part psychedelic gypsy Three parts blue-eyed refugee I’ve come a long way from Graceland And you can quote me free My soul is in Memphis But my a** is in Nashville, Tennessee Well I sat in with some cats And pretty soon word snuck around That the dude they know as Goldilocks Has the wildest organ in town I’m still dressing out of Lansky’s So if you see me man, don’t shoot I’m just prowling on down Music Row In my Willie Mitchell suit, hey I’m a Music City blow-in Cause this is where I need to be I’m one part psychedelic gypsy Three parts blue-eyed refugee I’ve come a long way from Graceland And you can quote me free My soul is in Memphis But my a** is in Nashville, Tennessee Well I wake up every morning With words of praise upon my lips Praise for the pioneers and outlaws That made this city hip For the men who made Nashville Nashville And the women behind the men Who put the funk back into country And made Nashville great again I’m a Music City blow-in Cause this is where I need to be I’m one part psychedelic gypsy Three parts blue-eyed refugee I’ve come a long way from Graceland And you can quote me free My soul is in Memphis But my a** is in Nashville, Tennessee My soul is in Memphis But my a** is in Nashville, Tennessee My soul is in Memphis But my a** is in Nashville, Tennessee Nashville, Tennessee
