Nashville Tennessee (demo) Lyrics & Tabs by Frank Turner
Nashville Tennessee (demo)
guitar chords lyrics
From the heart
of the southern downs,
To the northeast London reservoirs.
From the start,
the land 'scaped my sound,
before I'd ever been to America
And if I knew anybody who played pedal steel guitar
I would get them in my band, and then my band would get real far
But I was raised in middle England, not in Nashville, Tennessee
and the only person in my band is me.
Simple scale
On an old guitar
And a punk rock sense of honesty.
I cannot fail
when I'm come this far
with no knowledge of midwest geography.
And if I knew anywhere, where I could drive in a straight line
for hour through the dessert, I'd drive for hours at a time.
But I was raised in middle England, not in Nashville, Tennessee,
and the only person in this car is me.
Yes I'm in four-four time,
and yes I use cheap, cheap rythmes,
but I try to make a sound my own.
No I don't break new ground,
many have traveled this sound,
but I try to make it sound like home.
Well I've been to Texas state,
I didn't think it was all that fucking great.
And Nebraska, is a bunch of songs.
All the way in Hampshire is where I belong.
And I don't know anybody who plays pedal steel guitar.
All the city roads are twisted, and I do not own a car.
I was raised in middle England, not in Nashville Tennessee,
And the only thing I'm offering is me.
