Kentucky Avenue - Nighttime in Nashville Lyrics

Flying into town there's not another soul around
Who cares to sing the songs here in my head
And looking to the ground I can't hear a single sound
And now I'm thinking that I'm somewhere else instead

I knew the fix was in and that I would never win
So I packed a bag and headed somewhere west
A single ticket in my hand, it was my last and lonely plan
But I stacked the deck and held them to my chest

And if you don't believe that I've got something up my sleeve
It's nighttime here in Nashville, Tennessee
And if you don't think it's true that I've got a hand for you
I'm gonna play it here my dear and then you'll see
It's nighttime in Nashville, Tennessee

Please don't wake me in the morning
Just let the door close gently as you go
Please don't it as a warning
There's just some things that I think you ought to know

As I walk on in the crowd of happy people singing loud
I catch a glimpse out of the corner of my eye
There's someone dressed in blue and he's got a face like you
But I stop myself before I say goodbye

I take a turn into the bar and pick up an old guitar
And join the folks that just came there to play
I strum down on a chord and say a prayer up to the Lord
And then I thank him for the time I have today

And if you don't believe that I've got something up my sleeve
It's nighttime here in Nashville, Tennessee
And if you don't think it's true that I've got a hand for you
I'm gonna play it here my dear and then you'll see
It's nighttime in Nashville, Tennessee

Please don't wake me in the morning
Just let the door close gently as you go
Please don't take it as a warning
There's just some things that you ought to know

Flying into town there's not another soul around
Who cares to sing the songs here in my head
And looking to the sky I stop to think and wonder why
And now I know that I am somewhere else instead

And If you don't believe that I've got something up my sleeve
It's nighttime here in Nashville, Tennessee
And if you don't think it's true that I've got a hand for you
I'm gonna play it here my dear and then you'll see
It's nighttime in Nashville, Tennessee
It's nighttime in Nashville, Tennessee
It's nighttime in Nashville, Tennessee
