Nashville Melancholia
[Verse 1]
Never got accustomed to your August weather
Or your lack of evergreens
When I thought of leaving though my heart would tether
Nostalgia always intervenes
[Chorus]
And you make me stay
You pull me under your sway
I love your melancholy days
And meandering ways about you
You draw me in
Again and again
All the good people I know
Don’t take the undertow for granted
[Verse 2]
Innocence and 40 as a two-lane highway
Country Life at quarter to three
All the pretty girls at the Sunshine grocery
Angels had your back when you’d sing
[Chorus]
You still turn me on
All of these memories fond
I love your melancholy days
And meandering ways about you
You draw me in
Again and again
All the good people I know
Don’t take the undertow for granted
[Bridge]
Let’s sing a song
For all our good friends
All the good people I know
Sweet memories and happiness
And here comes the autumn rain
And I’m drawn in once again
[Chorus]
You still turn me on
So many memories fond
I love your melancholy days
And meandering ways about you
You draw me in
Again and again
All the good people I know
Don’t take the undertow for granted
[Outro]
All the good people I’ve met
Don’t take the kismet for granted
