A candle burns in Nashville, you rest in peace It's like you’re still with us, in that empty seat Storyteller, wake us from our silent night You always had the words, bring us back to life
When Nashville cries, a guitar weeps A writer finds a pen, ‘n fingers dance on keys The band takes the stage, songbird spreads her wings When Nashville cries…we sing
A New Year’s mirror, through a crystal ball shine Where pink champagne pops, a round of Auld Lang Syne No fighting back tears, we raise our glasses high Hoping we might reach you, on the other side
When Nashville cries, a guitar weeps A writer finds a pen, ‘n fingers dance on keys The band takes the stage, songbird spreads her wings When Nashville cries…we sing
One voice, then two, down every street and avenue Music Row plays for you, That's How You Know… That’s How You Know
(2x) When Nashville cries, a guitar weeps A writer finds a pen, ‘n fingers dance on keys The band takes the stage, songbird spreads her wings When Nashville cries…we sing
