INDIGO GIRLS
Words and Music: Amy Ray As I drive from your pearly gates I realize that I just can't stay All those mountains they kept you locked inside And hid the truth from my slighted eyes I came to you with a half-open heart Dreams upon my back illusions of a brand new start Nashville Can' I carry the load Is it my fault I can't reap what I sow Nashville Did you give me half a chance Withe your Southern style and your hidden dance Away and you dance away and you dance away All these voices they whisper through my walls They talk of falling fast they say I'm losing it all They say I'm running blind to love of my own But I'll be walking proud I'm saving what I still own I fell on my knees to kiss your land But you are so far down I can't even see to stand Nashville You forgot the human race You see with half a mind what colors hide the face Nashville I'd like to know your fate I'd like to stay awhile but I've seen your lowered state today I've seen it today honey I swear I've seen it today Now I'm leaving I got all these debts to pay You know we all have our dues I'll pay 'em some other place I never ask that you pay me back We all arrive with more I left with less than I had Your town is made for people passing through A last chance for a cause I thought you knew Nashville Tell me what you are gonna do With all your Southern style it'll never pull you through Nashville I can't place no blame But if you forget my face I'll never call your name again Never no never again ah no I fell on my knees to kiss your land But you are so far down I can't even see to stand Nashville You forgot the human race You see with half a mind what colors hide the face Nashville I'd like to know your fate I'd like to stay a while but I've seen your lowered state today I've seen 'em today honey I swear I've seen 'em today I'm running away I'm running away I'm running I'm running away
