[G]Late one [Am]morning I [D]just packed my things
[G]Burned all my [Am]bills and I [D]hopped a plane
[G]I told the [Am]cops and the [C]bankers good[D]bye
They said "[G]Don't let us [Am]catch you, cause you [C]owe us your l[D]ife"
Well, the [G]plane was [Am]headed east and [D]so I was
[G]Bound for [Am]Tennessee to [D]outrun the fuzz
[G]They found [Am]me in a [C]day or [D]two
Now I'm [G]flat [Am]busted in [C]jail, fightin' the [D]Nashville [G]blues
Chorus:
[G]I like George [Am]Jones, [D]Willie and Waylon
I think [G]Kris and [Am]Merle are [D]songwrittin' saviors
And [G]Townes Van [Am]Zant, he [C]died too [D]soon
But now heâ??[G]s up there wit[Am]h Hank and theyâ??re b[C]oth fightinâ?[D]? the Nash[G]ville blues
Well the [G]songwritin's [Am]left up to [D]old hillbillies
[G]Hippies and [Am]rednecks and [D]girls like Miss Emmylou
[G]I'm too [Am]young to have a [C]point of [D]view
But I just [G]want to [Am]be a part of [C]fightin' the [D]Nashville [G]blues
Bridge:
[C]Fightin' the Nashville [D]blues it ain't fun, no[G]
[G]It takes a toll upon your [C]mind
[C]But all the great ones they [G]been there too
And they're all [D]fightin' the [C]Nashville [G]blues
Well, I moved back to Austin to try to make a livin
But it ain't been so easy with those hill country women
And I'm stuck inside of this 8x12 room
And my throat's a scratchin' from the cigaretts and booze
And my face is wrinklin' and my mind's a strayin'
And I get on my knees and I get to prayin'
But my hands are worn like the soles of my shoes
And the Lord only knows I'm just fightin' the Nashville blues
Chorus 2:
I like Johnny Cash, Willie and Waylon
I think Chris (Wall) and Merle are songwritin' saviors
Old Keith Whitley, he died too soon
Bun now he's up there with Hank
And there both fightin' the Nashville blues
