Frank Turner - Nashville Tennessee [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

From the heart of the Southern Downs, to the North-East London reservoirs
From the start, the land scaped my sound, before I'd ever been to America

And if I knew anybody who played pedal steel guitar
I'd get them in my band and then my band would get real far
But I was raised in middle England, and not in Nashville, Tennessee
And the only person in my band is me

A simple scale on an old guitar, and a punk rock sense of honesty
I cannot fail, I've got this far with no knowledge of midwest geography

And if I knew anywhere where I could drive in a straight line
For hours in the desert, I'd drive for hours at a time
But I was raised in middle England, not in Nashville, Tennessee
And the only person in this car is me

And yes I'm in four-four time, and yes I use cheap cheap rhymes
But I try to make a sound my own
I know I don't break new ground, many have travelled this sound
But I try to make it sound like home

Well I've been to Texas state, I didn't think it was that fucking great
And Nebraska is just a bunch of songs
Holloway and Hampshire where I belong
And I don't know anybody who plays pedal steel guitar
All the city roads are twisted and I do not own a car
I was raised in middle England, not in Nashville, Tennessee
And the only thing I'm offering is me
