paroles de chanson Nameless, TN - Old Crow Medicine Show

Everybody's trying to find pie in the sky, eternal life
Ponce de Leon must have had it wrong, the secret of life is a state of mind
Well, in a state like this, it's easy to miss the timber for the trees
But if you stay on route, that old fountain of youth might be anywhere you please

There's a spot I know, off the beaten road, a town without a name
Where the river flows and life just goes on living its own way
Well, it might not be for everyone, but all are welcome in
And you just might find a little peace of mind when you come up around the bend

So, I'm going, sweet Virginia, where they cannot follow me
Where the hills ain't been all carved up and the highway doesn't reach
Only God knows where I'm going and on this, me and her agree
It's so hard to find a place left in this world for feeling free
Oh, but I got mine in Nameless, Tennessee

Everybody's just looking for themselves up there on the silver screen
Like we're all trying to act like movie stars, but we don't know beluga from Boyardee
And I don't need none of that, Virginia, not when you're lying right here next to me
So, let's cut the lights, hell, cut the power and get back to the real thing

See, I'm going, sweet Virginia, where they cannot follow me
Where the hills ain't been all carved up and the highway never reached
Only God knows where I'm going and on this, me and her agree
It's so hard to find a place left in this world for feeling free
Oh, but I got mine in Nameless, Tennessee

You see, I've been near damned everywhere, from the mountains to the sea
And I just found right where I'm bound is where I'm meant to be
Everybody better hold on tight 'cause the trail's just as rough as it seems
But no matter, I'm going wherever it leads

"To each his own" is what Daddy said, I still hear it now and then
He said, "You see a lot of faces, son, but just a few you call a friend"
So come on, sweet Virginia, how 'bout we step into the light
'Cause when we get to Nameless, I know it's gonna be alright

See, I'm going, sweet Virginia, where they cannot follow me
Where the hills ain't been all carved up and the highway, it never reached
Only God knows where I'm going and on this, me and her agree
It's so hard to find a place left in this world for feeling free
Oh, but I got mine in Nameless, Tennessee
Nameless, Tennessee
