Nashville Tennessee (Explicit)

Nashville Tennessee (Explicit) - Frank Turner

From the heart

Of the Southern downs

To the North East 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'd 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

A simple scale on an old guitar

And a punk rock sense of honesty

I cannot fail I've got this far

With no knowledge of mid west geography

And if I knew anywhere

Where I could drive in a straight line

For hours to the desert 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

And yes I'm in four four time

And yes I use cheap cheap rhymes

But I try to make a sound my own

I know I don't break new ground

Many have travelled this sound

But I try to make it sound like home

Well I've been to Texas state

I didn't think it was that f**king great

And Nebraska is just a bunch of songs

Holloway and Hampshire 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

And not in Tashville Tennessee

And the only thing I'm offering is me
