On a childhood highway through a night alone I was barely breathing, I was crawling home Well it's not quite London or the south of France Or an Asian island or a second chance Going back to Nashville, thinking about the whole thing Guess you gotta run sometimes Maybe I'm a fast train rolling down the mountain Watching all my life go by You're a distant memory, you're an exit sign I was talking crazy on the driver's side And I know I hurt you but I won't confess Was that blood or a wine stain on your wedding dress Going back to Nashville, thinking about the whole thing Guess you gotta run sometimes Maybe I'm a fast train rolling down the mountain Watching all my life go by Going back to Nashville, laughing at a bad break What's the use in wondering why Maybe I'm a storm front rolling through the valley Tearing up a good July And it's safe and warm where nothing ever happens Would it be so hard to realign a star or two Change a southern night for you Well it's not quite evening, and it's not New York There's a scar in the blue sky by the old airport And I'm talking crazy on the driver's side I will always love you like a long goodbye

    General Comment:David Mead has no comments on his songs... it's strangely comforting, like an oasis of nature in the middle of urban sprawl. Which I suppose makes me a candy wrapper in the wetlands.

    Anyway, this song is so brave, touching, and rare, I've listened to it on repeat dozens of times. Sometimes I forget that the song doesn't end with a reprise of the intro...
