CMAT - Nashville Lyrics:

My hair is going high as heaven
So long and softer than a bed
I look and feel like Anna-Nicole
And that's all I ever wanted

I fill a suitcase full of presents
Things I'm giving to my friends
I'm going away and I can't decide
Who would want my ends

Cuz what I have to do is not so nice
And really no fun
I love little lies as much as you
But here's a big one

I'm gonna tell everybody I know
That I'm moving to Nashville
I'll get all my goodbyes
Well out of the way

Make a memory of
'Em shipping me off to Nashville
But I'm not going
There's nowhere I can stay

I'm tired of looking at this body
I'm tired of living in this brain
I get eight hours sleep with a drip IV
And feel tired baby all the same

So the girls will see me in my boots
With tickets to the rodeo
We'll cry to K-pop and tequila shots
They'll never have to know

What I'm gonna do is not so nice
And really no fun
Hate to leave a party so
I'm off to join my own one

I'm gonna tell everybody I know
That I'm moving to Nashville
I'll get all my goodbyes
Well out of the way

Make a memory of
'Em shipping me off to Nashville
But I'm not going
There's nowhere I can stay

And I don't know what you'll make of me
But it's better off this way
Imagine my bag full of hotel soap
Pretend I'm on the plane

If I never get to Nashville know
It never let me down
The dream that got me through so much
And would have made you proud

I'm gonna tell everybody I know
That I'm moving to Nashville
I'll get all my goodbyes
Well out of the way

Make a memory of
'Em shipping me off to Nashville
But I'm not going
There's nowhere I can stay

I'm gonna tell everybody I know
That I'm moving to Nashville
I'll get all my goodbyes
Well out of the way

Make a memory of
'Em shipping me off to Nashville
But I'm not going
There's nowhere I can stay

And I'm sorry if you loved me
I hate that I'm this way

Seriously think this is one of the best singles in the last decade. Bitter sweet!

CMAT on Genius "This sums up the whole album, a song that I wrote because I have really, really been a very depressed person. I was thinking about the fact that during the times of the most depression, just unable to cope with the world, completely struggling, I’m the most craic—I’m so funny, I’m the best, a good-time gal. I listened to a podcast called You’re Wrong About and there was an episode on the study of suicide. One of the hosts talked about a friend of his who planned his death six months in advance. For those six months, he was the best guy, so much fun, so excited about life. He told everybody that he was moving to California and had all of his friends go to a going-away party, and then took his own life. I remember thinking that that is exactly what I would’ve done if I had got to the point. And it was an instinctive thought of, ‘Oh, if that was me, I would’ve said I was moving to Nashville’, because everyone knows I wanted to move to Nashville. It’s a really difficult song to play to people because it makes me very self-aware of how bad I have been and how bad I was for a while."

How does this not have a million views? This album is 🔥 🔥 🔥

[obelix]

This song is such a gut-punch.
I love it.

[dayzytb]

to me this song is more than just moving to nashville and starting a new life. It' s a farewell letter to everything tha has been tourmenting you, consuming your precious energy, and taking advantage of your kindness. It's a wake up call for you to move on and chosing to be one with yourself. As someone who has been let down by his "friends" too many times, I imagine myself sitting with them in a dinner table and then leave, start the car and getting the hell out. with this song playing louder through the speakers. Anyway song of the year haha

I heard Nashville and CMAT for the first time about an hour ago. Was walking through the woods, the light was gorgeous, I was grinning and a feeling the joy I haven't felt in so long.
Yep, I'm in love now.

[michazaczynskipodcast]

I cried 2 times listening to this. Last time it had happened to me 3 years ago. This is my song of 2022. Damn good!

I was listening to radio Gaeilge and this popped on and it's my new favourite for sure

She deserves a Ivor Novello for this!!

[metaldetectorists]

Lovely tune, cracking artist. Only really started to appreciate her music in the last week. Love her now. Clearly I was late to the C Mat party. 😊

[funkygoobermelon]

Accidently discovered that you could trick people into thinking this song is somewhat happy pop song by playing at 1.5 speed haha. I am so happy to have found this album! Keep it up CMAT :)

[TejasShane]

Such a beautiful song, I'm so glad I discovered her!

[Bazx]
