Asheville

Out here on this planet
there’s a lot to learn
there are lots of places where you can crash and burn
lots of stuff to notice and much more to ignore
and a story behind every door
from Asheville to Nashville to Cashville
and back to you

When your bed is empty and the highway doesn’t end
the audience can turn out to be your closest friend
you may not understand them
you may not know what to say
but something in their eyes shows the way
from Asheville to Nashville to Cashville
and back to you

How many exits have we missed?
How many lovers have we kissed goodbye?

We trust in Rand McNally
to be our spirit guide
we struggle with our egos
we put our love aside
these negotiations we base our lives upon
all add up to being gone
from Asheville to Nashville to Cashville
and back to you
