black & blue 2 white

 

when will she get tired of crying

when will she begin to see

when will she get tired of crying

when will she listen to me

 

living in the city where

she loved a man who made her cry

loving in the city where

the scrapers fill the sky

 

like to take her down to nashville

let her see how the folks still live in

johnny cashville

 

sheÕs got everything she wants

she wants a man who makes her cry

sheÕs got everything she wants

all that tears can buy

 

sheÕs got everything she wants

she wants to make it through the night

she turns her back and shuts her eyes

and turns black and blue to white

 

like to take her down to nashville

let her see how the folks still live in

johnny cashville

 

to forget is not a crime

in a different place and time

 

like to take her down to nashville someday

take her down to nashville someday

take her down to nashville tennessee
