G Am D

Late one morning I just packed my things

G Am D

Burned all my bills and I hopped a plane

G Am C D

I told the cops and the bankers goodbye

G Am C D

They said "Don't let us catch you, cause you owe us your life"

G Am D

Well, the plane was headed east and so I was

G Am D

Bound for Tennessee to outrun the fuzz

G Am C D

They found me in a day or two

G Am C D G

Now I'm flat busted in jail, fightin' the Nashville blues

Chorus:

G Am D

I like George Jones, Willie and Waylon

G Am D

I think Kris and Merle are songwrittin' saviors

G Am C D

And Townes Van Zant, he died too soon

G Am C D G

But now he’s up there with Hank and they’re both fightin’ the Nashville blues

G Am D

Well the songwritin's left up to old hillbillies

G Am D

Hippies and rednecks and girls like Miss Emmylou

G Am C D

I'm too young to have a point of view

G Am C D G

But I just want to be a part of fightin' the Nashville blues

Bridge:

C D G

Fightin' the Nashville blues it ain't fun, no

G C

It takes a toll upon your mind

C G

But all the great ones they been there too

D C G

And they're all fightin' the Nashville 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

Chorus
