Moon over Nashville - Rachel Potter

You got this town on lockdown

You hung your name on everything

Every street, every corner, every mile

And everywhere I turn

Every memory burns like wildfire, like wildfire

And if that moon’s out over Nashville

Well I’ve been looking for a getaway

And if it’s true that whiskey washes blues away

Then tonight I’ll make my great escape

Tell the cowboys I’m on my way

You piled your promises sky high

And now they’re falling down around me

Like snow, like hail, like rain

I’m drowning in your lies

Praying for a turn of the tide

Wishing I could fly, that I could fly away

And if that moon’s out over Nashville

Well I’ve been looking for a getaway

And if it’s true that whiskey washes blues away

Then tonight I’ll make my great escape

Tell the cowboys I’m on my way

Opportunity never laid a knock on my door

And all that I had, I’ve had to battle for

They say that life is paved by whatever road you choose

So what have I got to lose?

I think I’ll head on down to Nashville

See I’ve been looking for a getaway

And if it’s true that whiskey can wash these blues away

Then tonight I’ll make my great escape

Tell the cowboys I’m on my way

I think tonight I’ll make my great escape

Tell the cowboys I’m on my way
