Walking For Pennies – Nashville lyrics

I'm gonna move to Nashville
And I'm not gonna take a thing
Spent so long carrying my despair
It's all I know, but I don't care
Cause I'm gonna move to Nashville in the spring

I'm gonna move to Nashville
I'm gonna start my life anew
He said, "girl, if you're unsatisfied
Then maybe it's time to swallow your pride
And pack your bags, " and that's just what I'll do.

I'll say 'so long' to the longing for the way it might have been
'Fare thee well' to the fear of what will be
I've only so much time for to find my peace of mind
Gotta blow where the wind is carrying me

So I'm gonna drive to Boston
I'm gonna speed that northern lane
And I don't know nobody there I fear
But I know I gotta get out of here
So I'm gonna drive to Boston in the rain

Or maybe I'll fly to la
And the perpetual summer sun
No I never would call the west coast home
But on sure do need some time alone
So I'm gonna fly and not tell anyone

I'll say 'so long' to the longing for the way it might have been
'Fare thee well' to the fear of what may come
I've only so much time for to find my peace of mind
Let me lean toward a different color sun

Mandolin solo

I'll say 'so long' to the longing for the way it might have been
'Fare thee well' to the fear I've made my friend
I've only so much time for to find my peace of mind
Before the cold earth will cover me in the end

So when I move to Nashville
Tell me will you give a damn
We both know this ain't where I belong
New York won't even notice I'm gone
But will you miss that tiny piece of sand
Cause I'm gonna move to Nashville yes I am.
