Intro verse 1 Came into town with a pocketful of songs I made the rounds but I didn't last long Now I'm out on this highway with a bone-cold chill Somewhere north of Nashville verse 2 I lie awake in the middle of the night Makin' a list of things that I didn't do right With you at the top of a long page filled Here, somewhere north of Nashville Bridge For the deal I made, the price was strong I traded you for this song verse 3 We woke each morning with hearts filled Bluebird of love on the windowsill Now the heart's unsteady, and the night is still All I've got's this melody, and time to kill Here, somewhere north of Nashville Here, somewhere north of Nashville Here, somewhere north of Nashville
