Nashville Moon

There's a place in the corner of my mind

Where I keep all my memories

Like sittin' by the fire on a cold rainy day

With a misty mountain lady

I recall in my younger days

I was tall, lean and lonesome

I played my guitar in all kinds of bars

But I didn't have a woman at home

Sittin' here lonely under the Nashville moon

Sittin' here lonely under the Nashville moon

I walked in the door of Tootsie's Orchid Lounge

Saw a girl in a blue denim gown

She saw me standin' there I was all alone

She said: "Come on over honey sit down"

Pretty eyes like turquoise skies

And she finished me such a beautiful smile

She moved her fine body like a lady of grace

She's real a Southern woman of style

I said: "Why's a fine lookin' girl

Like you sittin' all alone like this?"

She pulled me aside and held me real tight

And started this song with a kiss

Sittin' here lonely under the Nashville moon

Sit down and join me drink a few beers

Sing a few lines to this tune

George Jones' song on the jukebox

And we'll slow dance all night long

Sittin' here lonely under the Nashville moon

We spent the night tellin' foolish lies

But loner I saw a strange look in her eyes

She got up to leave without a second glance

She said: "Honey you had your chance"

Wasted my money, wounded my pride

Left me standin' on Broadway in the middle of the night

She looked so fine I should have made her mine

I been a fool one more time

Sittin' here lonely under the Nashville moon

Sittin' here lonely under the Nashville moon

Sit down and join me drink a few beers

Sing a few lines to this tune

I should have told her I loved her

But I thought it was too soon

Sittin' here lonely under the Nashville moon

Sittin' here lonely under the Nashville moon

Sittin' here lonely under the Nashville moon.
