Nashville on a Bad Day by The Small Calamities Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 2018

I've been running from the government, and trying to keep my head away from mind control experiments...
I've heard they do a lot these days

Yeah, the last time, I was sure, that we might make it through the winter, I was sitting in the lobby of a hotel in Kentucky without you

Now I'm too far from Chicago to pretend I might mean something...
At the end of the beginning or maybe just the end of everything
Yeah, it's okay, just forget it...
You'll be Rachel, and I'm Chandler
That's a reference from the 90s--never mind, you wouldn't get it anyway


It's not about going back, it's just these photos through the window...
It's a cold December rain

And I am not what you want, I am only a distraction, and I won't remove the pain
So let it all come down while we can walk away, like Nashville on a bad day


There were concerts in the park but we were not trying to celebrate...
It's more just an escape from all the plans that people made for us
There were preachers in the parking lot, there were words inside my head...
Keith Urban was singing Bowie, so it's okay, we didn't miss much anyway

It's not about going back, it's just these photos through the window...
It's a cold December rain

And I am not what you want, I am only a distraction, and I won't remove the pain
So let it all come down while we can walk away, like Nashville on a bad day


We left town, and we got back
It was over, it was empty

I drove down, never got back...
Well, I stood there, but I was already gone

I was already gone
I was already gone


Burn the buildings down while we can stay away from Nashville on a bad day
Let it all come down, and we will stay away from Nashville on a bad day

Nashville on a bad day
Nashville on a bad day
