There's about 500 miles
between me and my heart
There's about 500 miles
from here to Nashville
I left my heart in Music City
It's the only place that really gets me
Just about every Saturday night
I imagine myself back there
when I watch the Opry
I still hear the music in the streets
There's about 500 miles
between me and my heart
There's about 500 miles
from here to Music City
I haven't really been there in a while
but I still see it in my dreams
If I really had the choice
I never woulda left
We all know I never woulda left
This religious conservative town
ain't where I belong
It just does me wrong
I always think of the day I'll peace out
Tell this backward town "so long"
There's about 500 miles
between me and my heart
There's about 500 miles
between just surviving and life
There's about 500 miles
between a town that kills me inside
and a city that makes me feel alive
There's about 500 miles
between this dead end and opportunity
There's about 500 miles
between me and my heart
