"East Nashville Skyline" lyrics - TODD SNIDER

Watchin' TV just makes me sad
Too many people treatin' people too bad
There's no hope
My old lady, she sure gon' be mad
I just spent the last fifty bucks we had
On bad dope

[Chorus:]
East Nashville skyline
Crossing over to a state of mind
Leaving all my troubles way behind
That ol' Cumberland River
East Nashville skyline
Discount cigarettes, liquor, and wine
Anywhere, anytime
We deliver

I'm still mad about the Slow Bar
I guess that's just the way things are
Something good comes along, then it's gone
Kinda like the Phoenix Radio
We used to listen, then where did it go?
It went off of the air so that more Sheryl Crow could come on
Come on

[Chorus:]
East Nashville skyline
Crossing over to a state of mind
Leaving all my troubles way behind
That ol' Cumberland River
East Nashville skyline
Discount cigarettes, liquor, and wine
Anywhere, anytime
We deliver

Crossing the river to play 'em our songs
They're prob'ly right when they say we're all wrong
For these days
So much for money, so much for big
Who needs the trouble, man, there's always a gig
At the Cafe, the Radio Cafe

[Chorus:]
East Nashville skyline
Crossing over to a state of mind
Leaving all my troubles way behind
That ol' Cumberland River
East Nashville skyline
Discount cigarettes, liquor, and wine
Anywhere, anytime
We deliver
