about

This song came about when I heard about the tragic death of a young US country singer in a road accident on her way to a music festival in 2019. It's not specifically about her, more about just dealing with grief and loss.

lyrics

I got a telephone call, the kind you never want to get
By the time I put the phone down my face and shirt were wet
I was in the car, and I had to pull, right over
I cried, tears in my eyes on the hard shoulder

A cop pulled in behind and walked up to the window
He tapped on the glass and said you can’t stop here you gotta go
I told him what happened, he said he was sorry, to hear
But you gotta move on, you gotta move on you can’t stop here

You gotta move on, you’re gone
Now the neon’s lost its sparkle and the broadway ain’t so bright
You gotta move on, you’re gone
And I know it’s gonna rain in Nashville tonight

I don’t know how I got home, driving in a daze
I don’t know I got through, all arrangements had been made
The cemetery gates, are closing but, I can’t leave
The preacher said go home, you gotta go home, let them rest in peace

It’s raining down in Nashville
