Nashville Forgot About Me

The day you left My fall didn't take long I still blame you For all that went wrong And as I occupy This sofa of crumbs l've crowned myself The king of bums Because with you gone Nashville forgot about me I walk these streets Looking for pizza and beer But so much is gone And the only thing here Is a hipster with hotsauce In his beard From a designer chicken That some investor reared Because with you gone Nashville forgot about me I walk past drunks on bicycles Painting the town And past faux modern condos That would make Johnny frown And these sanitized bars Where tourist go to drink Would make George Sober up and think Because with you gone Nashville forgot about me I guess we were the past Two outlaws in crime We stole each others hearts And past loves prime But I never thought you'd go And leave me here alone Slowly wasting away Like designer chicken pulled from the bone Because with you gone Nashville forgot about me
