lyrics

She used to sit on his shoulder
When he was young, he would hold her
And they made love with pen and paper
Who would have dreamed that he'd forsake her

He lost his muse when she made him choose
Between her beauty and a bottle of booze
She left him cold like a blown out fuse
Now he's all alone with the Nashville blues

She was a gift taken for granted
A vision pure now dull and slanted
Sometimes he cries and tries to call her
But every night his voice gets smaller

He lost his muse when she made him choose
Between her beauty and a bottle of booze
She left him cold like a blown out fuse
Now he's all alone with the Nashville blues

He's haunted by the songs unwritten
Prays for the words that come unbidden
And a melody for the ages
In a silent room full of empty pages

He lost his muse when she made him choose
Between her beauty and a bottle of booze
She left him cold like a blown out fuse
Now he's best known for the Nashville blues
