Nashville
Indigo Girls Nashville" is an Amy Ray song, written about her experiences at Vanderbilt U. As Emily said, "She didn't fit in." This song Occasionally, it would feature a cool harmonica part by Sandy originally appeared on "Color Me Grey," and then on "Blue Food." Garfinkle. Emily, by the way, claims to hate playing this song, lyrics is compiled from ten different versions, so it's really kind which is pretty odd, considering it's still in their repetoire, and likely will be on the next album. This particular version of the of a "best of." Whatever I heard most often. Nashville. As I drive from your pearly gates I realize that I just can't stay All those mountains, they kept you locked inside And hid the truth from my slotted eyes I came to you with a halfDreams upon my back Nashville, can't I carry the load? Nashville, did you give me half a chance Is it my fault that I can't reap what I sow? (Now you dance away, now you dance away) With your southern style, and your hidden dance away? They said I was falling fast, they say I'm losing it all All those voices, they whisper through my walls They say I'm running blind to love of my own But I'll be walking proud I fell on my knees to kiss your land And I can't even see to stand in Nashville But you are so far down You forgot the human race What colors are the face? You see with have a mind Nashville, I'd like to know your fate But I've seen your lowered states today I'd like to stay a while (I've seen them today, honey, I swear I've seen them today) Now I'm leaving You know we all have our dues I'd never ask that you pay me back We all arrive with more A last chance for a cause I thought I knew Your town is made for people passing through But, Nashville, you tell me what you're gonna do With all your Southern style Nashville, I can't place no blame (No, never again, never again) But if you forget my face I'll never call your name again But you are so far down I fell on my knees to kiss your land And I can't even see to stand in Nashville You see with half a mind You forgot the human race What colors are the face? Nashville, I'd like to know your fate I'd like to stay a while But I've seen your lowered states today (I've seen them today, honey, I swear I've seen them today I'm running away, I'm running away I'm running, I'm running, I'm running away |
