  • I left Louisiana for a fifty thousand watt antenna
    On a sinners pray, three chords and the truth
    Golden states got your name
    Greyhound bus and a walk of fame
    It's a hard lesson in what distance can do
    If God made the two cities closer, I'd be right beside you
    But then where would the Grand Canyon be
    I'll meet you in Nashville California or LA Tennessee

    Dreamers dreams are never done
    Gypsy songs never sung
    Spit out the bone, say the hell with all the rest
    Souls like ours always looking for a way into love
    A way out the door
    Just keep that compass pointed east and west

    No place this cowboy heart won't go
    Star lined streets or old backroads
    Broadway bars or the land of silk screen
    So, I'll meet you in Nashville California or LA Tennessee

    I've never been a patient man, I've tried like hell to make amends
    Two thousand miles and beautiful plans
    Tell those western stars keep watching over
    The city of angels I'm coming for ya
    The only way I know 'til I grow wings

    I'll get in this old pickup truck and drive it west
    'Til the sun comes up
    'Cause I love you and the way you love your dreams
    Just know I'd move these mountain for you
    Every grain of dessert sand
    And if you ever want to settle down with me
    Call it Nashville California or LA Tennessee
    Call it Nashville California or LA Tennessee

    Mm, where the dreamers go and the stars hang low
    Oh, where the dreamers go and the stars hang low
    Mm Writer/s: Bob Minner, Lori McKenna, Tim McGraw
