Nashville Radio Lyrics by Jon Langford

All the Fame of Lofty Deeds

2004

Drink and pills and Nashville radio life will never be the same
Chills and spills from Maine to Mexico
Ridin on my funeral train
In every town there's the same tribulation
Every state I wake up in
The night before was a dim recollection
Of powders and bottles and sin
There's a bald little stranger heading out the door
Just about half my age
Blood on the walls glass on the floor
I don't think I even made it on stage
I said doctor doctor
Sign my prescription
I'm in trouble again
Ever since I was a tiny little baby
I couldn't get rid of the pain
I shake my hips but I walk like a cripple
And my body is getting too thin
I can count every one of my bones in the mirror
Pokin through my cold white skin
There's a shiny star on the dressing room door
But I'll be out in the back of my car
Cause I don't know a soul I can trust with the money
Or to tune up my guitar
Drink and pills and Nashville radio life will never be the same
Chills and spills from Maine to Mexico
Ridin on my funeral train
I can't sleep without the engine humming
And the wheels rolling night and day
Well I can't sleep without the Nashville radio
Slipping through my chemical haze
Play some song but I don't remember
With the DJ calling my name
If they play my songs on the Nashville radio
My life will never be the same
I said doctor doctor
Sign my prescription
I'm in trouble again
Ever since I was a tiny little baby
I couldn't get rid of the pain
Ever since I was a tiny little baby
I couldn't get to sleep at night
Be listening to that Nashville radio
Hours before day light
They threw me off the Grand Ole Opry
Cause I couldn't behave
I never knew how many friends I had
Till I was lying in a cold dark grave
I gave my life to country music
I took my pills and lost
Now they don't play my songs on the radio
It's like I never was
That's sweaty cop in an Alabama lockup
Looked at me and he laughed
He'd heard my songs on the Nashville radio
He asked me for my autograph
He said doctor doctor
Sign my prescription
I'm in trouble again
Ever since I was a tiny little baby
I couldn't get rid of the pain
Drink and pills and Nashville radio life will never be the same
Chills and spills from Maine to Mexico
Ridin on my funeral train
