Old 97's Nashville lyrics

Well I married Caroline back in May of '99

it was fucked up at the time but I figured we'd keep tryin'

her brother and her dad they were spitting mad

when I packed up what I had and took off runnin' it was bad

it was mean I didn't care and it's gotten me nowhere

so I'm trying to be a better man



I turned left turns into right I turned sunshine into night

I got my ass kicked every fight no I couldn't get it right

I built castles out of sand I didn't understand

why everything I planned ran like whiskey off my hand

and my hands were never clean things I wished I'd never seen

I'd do anything to wake up from this motherfuckin' dream



who'd I got to blow to get in this fuckin' show

it's dark in there I know and I got nowhere else to go

but I need a place to hide so I'll put away my pride

and come inside 'cause I'm tired of running




and there's a universe that's floating out in space

and I look up there and I can't find my face

and I'm seein' my reflection backstage

writin' down the same old words on the same old page



who'd I got to blow to get in this fuckin' show

it's dark in there I know and I got nowhere else to go

but I need a place to hide so I'll put away my pride

and come inside 'cause I'm tired of running

who'd I got to blow to get in this fuckin' show

it's dark in there I know and I got nowhere else to go

but I need a place to hide so I'll put away my pride

and come inside 'cause I'm tired of running

come inside 'cause I'm tired of running

come inside 'cause I'm tired of running
