Lyrics
623 miles ago,
you said you leave me on a Summer day.
420 miles from there
you said you decided to stay.
Then you changed your mind again
at mile marker 186
And you haven't said a word since...
Don't go back to Nashville
Don't go back to Nashville
Don't go back to Nashville
They don't want you anymore
Don't go back to Nashville
Don't go back to Nashville
Don't go back to Nashville
They don't want you?
Pine Forest turned to fields
and the fields turned to plains,
The plains turned to jetting mountain
and then back to plains again.
Swore I'd make it up to you,
under the hot Nevada sun
If you'd let me know what I'd done...
(Chorus)
All the things you said can't be undone.
Even from the people
who should have loved you no matter what.
See there's only a few hours left
'til the California sun.
You might find a new life there,
or at least a little fun.
But if you leave this car
for where ever Heaven knows,
It could be the last door you ever close...
(Chorus)
