Thanks for the ride hey Mister it's nice I look just like your sister
You'd like to show me a good time I believe you
Thanks for the offer but here's where I leave you
Route 65 to Nashville I will pick it up just south of Lousville
It's on the right the sign is green and wide
I know it's way around that next hill Route 65 to Nashville

I've ran away to nowhere bright lights of City nights I'd go there
I've learned the hard way you can't be happy hidin'
My best of broadway from here on in I'm ridin'
Route 65 to Nashville...

He was country folk like I am I left to town and I left my man
And now I miss him I've got to be believin'
We still can make it so here's where I'm leavin'
Route 65 to Nashville...
