I say how could this be
left her back in Tennesse
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 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
North Dakota boy in Tennessee
That singin 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
That singin town had got the best of me
Oh yeah
and 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 to Nashville dead
Oh you can drag me back to Nashville
But you`ll drag me back to Nashville dead
North Dakota boy in Tennessee
I say how could this be
North Dakota boy in Tennessee
