In a town
oh, Nashville Tennesse
Met a boy named James
and he rescue me
We would dream
leave 'em so and town together
Some place bigger
Some place better
Just any where but here

And it's a laugh until we cry
And is it why you said goodbye
Guess I see you some day
hope you're not to far away
Guess I see you some day
You can tell me why
Tell me why
Oh, James why you said goodbye

So more, I'd say
We we're young and wild and crazy
But I knew better
I knew you came here to save me

And it's a laugh until we cry
And is it why you said goodbye
Tell me why
Guess I see you some day
hope you're not to far away
Guess I see you some day
You can tell me why
Tell me why
Oh, James why you said goodbye

Was you leave town without
tellin' us you're givin' up, oh yeah
Now you're just an old-time memory to me

Is in a town
oh, Nashville Tennesse
Met a boy, named James
and he rescue me

Guess I see you some day
hope you're not to far away
Guess I see you some day
You can tell me why
Tell me why
Oh, James why
Tell me why
Oh, James why you said goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
