"Nashville Skyline" lyrics

"Nashville Skyline"
(feat. Matraca Berg)

Same old song, been way too gone
This was just a small town back when I was twenty-one
Stars in my eyes, just a lonely high-rise
My sweet old friend, tell me, what have we become?

I've been feelin' like a Nashville skyline
I can see a Polaroid in my mind fadin' fast
And if I could go back
I'd be drinkin' with the ghosts on Broadway
Long enough to see a month of Sundays comin' down
In this heartbreak town

Them good ol' boys sure made some noise
Whiskey prophets singin' poetry with a southern accent
Downtown bars, a country band without a steel guitar
We've come so far, can't remember where we've been

I've been feelin' like a Nashville skyline
I can see a Polaroid in my mind fadin' fast
And you can't go back
I'd be drinkin' with the ghosts on Broadway
Long enough to see a month of Sundays comin' down
In this heartbreak town

Came back here to find a song
Came back here to find it gone
Long gone

I've been feelin' like a Nashville skyline
I can see a Polaroid in my mind fadin' fast
And you can't go back
I'd be drinkin' with the ghosts on Broadway
Long enough to see a month of Sundays comin' down
In this heartbreak town
