Nashville CA / L.A. Tennessee
I left Louisiana for a fifty thousand watt antenna
On a sinner's prayer, three chords, and the truth
All them states got your name
Greyhound bus and a walk of fame
It's a hard lesson in what distance can do
If God made the two cities closer
I'd be right beside you
But then where would the Grand Canyon be
I'll meet you in Nashville, California
Or L.A. Tennessee
Dreamers dreams are never done
Gypsies songs never sung
Spit out the bones, say to hell with all the rest
Souls like ours are always lookin' for
A way into love, a way out the door
Just keep that compass pointed east and west
No place this cowboy heart won't go
Star lined streets or old back roads
Broadway bars or the land of silver screens
So I'll meet you in Nashville, California
Or L.A. Tennessee
I've never been a patient man
I've tried like hell to make amends
Two thousand miles and beautiful plans
Tell these western stars to keep watchin' over
The city of angels, I'm comin' for ya
The only way I know 'til I grow wings
I'll get in this old pickup truck
And I'll drive west 'til the sun comes up
'Cause I love you and the way you love your dreams
Just know I'd move these mountains for you
Every grain of desert sand
And if you ever wanna settle down with me
We'll call it Nashville, California
Or L.A. Tennessee
Call it Nashville, California
Or L.A. Tennessee
Mmm, where the dreamers go
And the stars hang low
Oh, where the dreamers go
And the stars hang low
Mmm
