G D
On a childhood highway, through a night alone
Em A
I was barely breathing, I was crawling home
G D
Well it's not quite London, or the south of France
Em A G D/F# D/E
Or an Asian island, or a second chance.
D Em
Going back to Nashville, thinking about the whole thing
D/F# Gmaj7 G5
Guess you gotta run sometimes
Bm D
Maybe I'm a fast train rolling down a mountain
G A (2 measures)
Watching all my life go by.

Was that blood or a wine stain on your wedding dress?

Watching all my life go by.

Going back to Nashville, laughing at a bad break

What's the use in wondering why?
Bm D
Maybe I'm a storm front blowing through the valley

Tearing up a good July.

And it's safe and warm where nothing ever happens
A Bm A G
Would it be so hard to realign a star or two?

Change a southern night for you.

I will always love you like a long goodbye.
