This is why I moved to Nashville, why I almost leftYou made me feel alive, but you scared me half to deathThought I couldn't hit that stage without you running through my veinsNow I sing the songs I always have, but the meaning's bound to changeCause you took me high, but you sure as hell brought me downWe said goodbye, but I'm gonna see you aroundAnd to tell the truth, I thought I never wouldBut it's time I finally put you down for goodCause you've taken me as far as you couldYou gave me the courageThe night I met my wifeYou helped me make a laughYou helped me make a cryYou started out a friendTurned into something elseNow I like who I amWith you sitting on the shelfCause you took me highBut you sure as hell brought me downYou said goodbye, but I'm gonna see you aroundAnd to tell the truth, I thought I never wouldBut it's time I finally put you down for goodCause you've taken me as far as you couldYou said goodbye, but I'm gonna see you aroundBecauseBecauseBecauseYou're a part of my storyGood times I won't forgetI can't say I'm glad you're goneBut can't say I wish we never metCause you took me out, but sure as hell brought me downYou put up a good fight, but look who's standing nowBut to tell the truth, I thought I never wouldBut it's time I finally put you down, my girlHad it almost as it all before I was doneBut you've taken me as far as you could
