The Nashville Blues

The Nashville Blues

It’s not a genre

It’s not a country song

It’s not a band, a baseball team or

A tourist trap

It’s a season in this town

With shitty weather

And depressing tones

Grey skies, no clouds

Cold temperatures and a downer mood

All the songwriters escape it

They save their song cowrites

For LA and stay beachside

For 3 or more months

Not quite Seattle rains

Not quite torrential rains

In between just enough to ruin your day

It’s not bone chilling cold

Not a welcomed cool either

It doesn’t snow and doesn’t stop

And you don’t see the sun for days or weeks

If you stay in town 

You might not feel it

But it creeps up after some time 

Once you’re feeling lost, uncreative and in a funk

The Nashville Blues

It’s not a genre or a bluegrass band

But it was a baseball team

And it’s now also a shitty country song
