lyrics

East Nashville October night got a memory on my mind we had only been there once I seen the Ryman on tv a dozen times we had to find a way to get lost by turnin’ down new streets we played dress up for the weekend we danced on aching feet then we tucked those snapshots away and buried ‘em in our memories we ran through the southern rain trying to find the pharmacy I found a hangover and you made the coffee in the rented room in that old wooden house in East Nashville, Tennessee 2017 was gonna be our year until things went south this was long before the world started to cave in on itself and something happened we weren’t expecting oh no then we tucked those snapshots away buried them in the great lake state we ran through the southern rain trying to find the pharmacy I found a hangover and you made the coffee in the rented room in that old wooden house in East Nashville, Tennessee sometime around then I was called to help someone in need she was 26 and could barely breathe bottles of booze flanked her mattress on the floor said her husband was KIA servin’ on his 4th tour is there anything I can do anyone I can call for you I miss my momma she’s back in East Nashville, Tennessee I got a secret I’m protecting she’s back in East Nashville, Tennessee she oughta know I’m expecting
