put off my blues and moved, on route 40 i came
touched down in the land of the mexi-dudes
in the middle of the lone-star state
summer-blues be damning, no blues damn in my jeep
yeah, i got the thirst, nashville is
where my high-school actor-boy would be

so i'm driving in texas
i'm driving with no sleep til demonbreun street
driving past memphis
until i really feel mid-tennessee

saw the most male-pelvis, on second avenue
followed one up to his place and laid ass
as i mocked and scorned gay dudes
his security i kicked, not meaning
i just trusted he'd be cool
but he's got pretty weak esteem
waiting for his king - bow, kiss and hug him, too

when i was driving in texas
was driving with no sleep til demonbreun street
driving past memphis
until i'd really feel mid-tennessee

they've got gall'tin north of dav'dson
i got locked up twice up there
when head-therapy is madly 'neath you,
then your ass is running scared
boy, i ran from that depression

now memories made in nashville,
every time, make sad my adulthood
cuz i'm wanting now, to be there
in the past, at 22
youth was dylan's blunder
lonely days and lonely nights
i'd weep and tell you i was a happy child
but i just can't be "man realized"

driving in texas
was driving with no sleep til demonbreun street
driving past memphis
until i'd really feel mid-tennessee

put off my blues and moved, on route 40 i came
touched down in the land of the sexy dudes
with the videos and the porn and gays
touched down in the land of the "metro news"
when i fiddled with the porn and gays
