Standard (EADGBE)
I say how could this be
I left her back in Tennessee
And there's a thousand miles between
And I'm goin' outta 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 nothin' more in her life
Than to see her name in lights
So I came along for the ride
But there was just no end
Smokey 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
Chorus
North Dakota boy in Tennessee
That singin' town it got the best of me, oh ya
Well I lost my love to the dream
Lookin' back I lost a part of me, and so I said
You can drag me back to Nashville
But you'll drag me back ot Nashville dead
Instrumental break
I say how could this be
Chorus
Oh you can drag me back to Nashville
But you'll drag me back to Nashville dead
North Dakota boy in Tennesse
I say how could this be
