Nashville tears are lonely signs that point to broken hearts
Broken lives and families that love has split apart
Children who miss daddy, mommy’s on the run
The pleasure that is painful and hidden from the sun

Nashville hearts are lonely words that speak of love gone wrong
Sad and soulful stories and beautiful love songs
Foe each and every melody of happiness denied
You know that there’s another one that shows the other side

Country love is kisses in the kitchen
Country love is honest and it’s true
Country love is home with your family
County love’s the way that I love you

Country love is silky nights and warm familiar hands
Someone who’s been there before and always understands

Nashville nights are lonely roads that we’ve all travelled on
Sometimes they take you far away or they can bring you home
If you’re lost out on the highway, do not deny the dove
When Nashville night’s the question, the answer’s country love

Country love is kisses in the kitchen
Country love is honest and it’s true
Country love is home with your family
County love’s the way that I love you

Country love is kisses in the kitchen
Country love is honest and it’s true
Country love is home with your family
County love’s the way that I love you
