Two Hours From Nashville

Numbers flash red on the speed limit sign It's two hours from Nashville and I'm wasting time The exits go by for a heart that is mine It's two hours from Nashville and I'm wasting time I remember the years, and the days in between When I was a pauper and you were my queen No music to read from we played it by ear Closing the distance between love and fear Wake in the morning, no money for jack Waitin on darkness so we could attack Lay siege to the village and close down the bars Make our sweet love neath the Cumberland Stars Numbers flash red on the speed limit sign It's two hours from Nashville and I'm wasting time The exits go by for a heart that is mine It's two hours from Nashville and I'm wasting time The lights down on Broadway they shine down like rain Color the hard times and steal all the pain But the songs don't come easy when you're feeling alone And pride don't mean nothing when the words ain't your own The sound of your breath in the still of the night The touch of your skin to say it's alright But I look in your eyes, is it fate that I see? The embers of love or reflections of me? Left a note on the dresser and a key by the door No jaded goodbye's like the times come before And there's numbers in red on the speed limit sign It's two hours from Nashville and I'm wasting time It's two hours from Nashville and I'm wasting time
