lyrics

You can get to Nashville by car , or bus or plane .
But you can’t cross the Cumberland, arriving there by train .
The station’s now a hotel, with some fancy stores.
Cause the trains don’t run to Nashville anymore.

The trains don’t run to Nashville anymore
You can’t hear their whistle blowing, or their engine’s roar .
There are guitar pickers, fiddlers and hungry troubadours.
But the trains don’t run to Nashville anymore

Lots of folks migrate from that Northern snow and cold.
Trying to reinvent themselves before they get too old,
But soon they find they’re only doing what they did before.
And the trains don’t run to Nashville anymore.

The trains don’t run to Nashville anymore
You can’t hear their whistle blowing, or their engine’s roar .
There are guitar pickers, fiddlers and hungry troubadours.
But the trains don’t run to Nashville anymore

Now there are changes for the good
That we’re all glad we’ve seen.
Antiquated attitudes , beliefs that seemed extreme
No more colored drinking fountains , or separate back doors.
But the trains don’t run through Nashville anymore

The trains don’t run to Nashville anymore
You can’t hear their whistle blowing, or their engine’s roar .
There are guitar pickers, fiddlers and hungry troubadours.
But the trains don’t run to Nashville anymore

The trains don’t run to Nashville anymore
You can’t hear their whistle blowing, or their engine’s roar .
There are guitar pickers, fiddlers and hungry troubadours.
But the trains don’t run to Nashville anymore

The masses rode those trains across this great country of ours.
Now it’s individuals , on highways in their cars.
Our dependence on foreign oil makes common sense implore
Why can’t the trains run to Nashville anymore ?

The trains don’t run to Nashville anymore.
You can’t hear that whistle blow or that engine roar.
There are guitar pickers , fiddlers , and hungry troubadours.
But the trains don’t run to Nashville anymore.
No , the trains don’t run to Nashville , anymore.
