Nashville Tennessee
Truck Stop Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ich liege hier im warmen Sand, die Sonne zieht vorbei.
Der Himmel meint es gut mit mir.
Ich will mich nicht beklagen, und es wäre auch nicht fair,
Trotzdem gibts nen Platz, wo ich lieber wär.
Keine andre Stadt hats mir so angetan,
Und irgendwie - irgendwann - muß ich rüber nach Nashville.

Grand Old Opry Nashville Tennessee
Guitar Ringing Banjo Picking
Jodel - didel - ley
Grand Old Opry Nashville Tennessee
Country Singing Fiddle Swing
Jodel - didel - ley

Vor mir steht die Gran Ol Opry - Music - City Road.
Da oben rechts die Hall Of Fame.
Ich sitz in vollen Kneipen und ich höre die Musik,
Country-Music, wies sie dort nur gibt.
Ich kanns nun mal nicht ändern, ich denke immer dran.
Und irgendwie - irgendwann - muß ich rüber nach Nashville.

Grand Old Opry Nashville Tennessee
