How do you miss a city that you've never been to?
Maybe it's all the things that city has taken from you
I've lost a couple to the west coast
To bigger waves and finer sands
One or two deep in the mountains
Never hear from them again
I guess that's just the way it is
When your feet are firmly planted where they stand
I keep my daydreams far from my plans
And I won't worry
I've had it here enough times
And I'm sure
I'll find it here again
So all I will do is smile
That I had you for a while
Now that Nashville has got your number my friend
And I'll miss Nashville for the place I've never been
How do you mourn a love you lost before you found it?
Maybe the answer is in the questions left resounding
Inside the caverns of what could be
Precious words we never spent
Don't tell my daydreams about my plans
And I won't worry
I've had it here enough times
And I'm sure I'll find it here again
So all I will do is smile
That I had you for a while
Now that Nashville has got your number my friend
And I'll miss Nashville for the place I've never been
Oh, walk away slowly
Take it all in
Isn't it lovely?
Oh, walk away slowly
Take it all in
Can't this be lovely?
Let's let it be lovely
And I won't worry
I guess I had enough time
And I'm not sure when I'll find it here again
So all I will do is smile
That I had you for a while
Now that Nashville has got your number my friend
And I'll miss Nashville for the place I've never been
Now that Nashville
And I'll miss Nashville for the place I've never been
