North Dakota Boy

I say, how could this be

Left her back in Tennessee

Now, there's a thousand miles between

I'm going out of my head

But I can't take back the words I said

Just to fill her empty bed

Said you can drag me back to Nashville

But you'll drag me back to Nashville dead

She wanted nothing more in her life than to see her name in lights

So, I came along for the ride but there was just no end

To the smoky bars and unpaid rent, day job blues held by a thread

Oh, you can drag me back to Nashville

But you'll drag me back to Nashville dead

North Dakota boy in Tennessee

That singing town had got the best of me

Oh yeah, and I lost my love to the dream

Looking back I lost a part of me and so I said

You can drag me back to Nashville

But you'll drag me back to Nashville dead

I say, how could this be

North Dakota boy in Tennessee

Oh yeah, and I lost my love to the dream

Looking back I lost a part of me and so I said

You can drag me back to Nashville

But you'll drag me back to Nashville dead

Oh, you can drag me back to Nashville

But you'll drag me back to Nashville dead
