Tim McGraw and Lori McKenna - Nashville CA/L.A. Tennessee

I left Louisiana for a fifty thousand watt antenna
On a sinners pray, three chords and the truth
Golden states got your name
Greyhound bus and a walk of fame
It's a hard lesson in what distance can do
If God made the two cities closer, I'd be right beside you
But then where would the Grand Canyon be
I'll meet you in Nashville California or LA Tennessee

Dreamers dreams are never done
Gypsy songs never sung
Spit out the bone, say the hell with all the rest
Souls like ours always looking for a way into love
A way out the door
Just keep that compass pointed east and west

No place this cowboy heart won't go
Star lined streets or old backroads
Broadway bars or the land of silk screen
So, I'll meet you in Nashville California or LA Tennessee

I've never been a patient man, I've tried like hell to make amends
Two thousand miles and beautiful plans
Tell those western stars keep watching over
The city of angels I'm coming for ya
The only way I know 'til I grow wings

I'll get in this old pickup truck and drive it west
'Til the sun comes up
'Cause I love you and the way you love your dreams
Just know I'd move these mountain for you
Every grain of dessert sand
And if you ever want to settle down with me
Call it Nashville California or LA Tennessee
Call it Nashville California or LA Tennessee

Mm, where the dreamers go and the stars hang low
Oh, where the dreamers go and the stars hang low
Mm
