I say how could this be
A D
Left her back in Tennessee
A D
There's a thousand miles between
A D A
I'm going out of my head

But I can't take back the words I said
A D A
Just to fill her empty bed

Said you can drag me back to Nashville
E A D <--(x4)
But you'll drag me back to Nashville dead

She wanted nothing more in her life
A D
Than to see her name in lights
A D
So I came along for the ride
A D A D
But there was just no end
A D
Smokey bars and unpaid rent
A D A
Day job blues held by a thread
D
Oh you can drag me back to Nashville
E A D
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

Looking back I lost a part of me, and so I said

You can drag me back to Nashville
E A D A
But you'll drag me back to Nashville dead
