“White Flag”


They all told me
I was crazy
Packing up my life out West
I was so sure of myself back then

I was chosen
Kicked every door open
And I swore I saw the stars aligning
The city called out to me like a siren.

“Come in and we’ll take care of your dreams”
Seduced by a life I thought was for me.

Oh sweet, cruel Nashville
Your stage is the most dangerous high.
And neon dreams are born here
But the broadway blues are where most go to die.
And this town has kicked me out again and again
But I haven’t raised that white flag,
Yet.

I’m a lover
Who’s bled like a fighter.
This town’s heard all about my scars
In writing rooms and dive bars
I write it all down
Pour my whole heart out
But the kings and queens don’t like my songs.
They’re too me, too sad, or too long.

“Come in and we’ll put your name up in lights
But first pay your dues there on the front line”

Oh sweet, cruel Nashville
Your stage is the most dangerous high.
And neon dreams are born here
But the broadway blues are where most go to die.
And this town has kicked me out again and again
But I haven’t raised that white flag,
Yet.

There’s always another joker who won’t take off their mask
And there’s always another poet I’ll just have to outlast.
And there’s always another prodigy
who was born for the role I try to play.
There’s always a reason to leave
Then two more to stay.

Oh sweet, cruel Nashville
Your stage is the most wondrous high.
And neon dreams are born here
But the broadway blues are where they all go to die
And this town has kicked me out again and again,
But I haven’t raised that
White flag, yet.
