Nuthouse Called Nashville

Jim Colyer

Right next to Music Row
The traffic is a nightmare
Cops are running wild
Dogs are everywhere
Singers, writers, pickers
Living in a song
Half this town is drunk
Everything is wrong

I'm an island of sanity
In this Nuthouse Called Nashville
I don't fit in this town
I'm just stranded here
It's such a crazy place
This campus called Vanderbilt
I'm an island of sanity
In this Nuthouse Called Nashville

I'm somehow trapped in this
Lunatic society
Bums on every corner
Want money from me
Ain't a brain between them
Football's all they know
All they care about
Is "Go Titans go!"

I'm an island of sanity
In this Nuthouse Called Nashville
I don't fit in this town
I'm just stranded here
It's such a crazy place
This campus called Vanderbilt
I'm an island of sanity
In this Nuthouse Called Nashville

I'll never be one of them
Got to escape this asylum

I'm an island of sanity
In this Nuthouse Called Nashville
I don't fit in this town
I'm just stranded here
It's such a crazy place
This campus called Vanderbilt
I'm an island of sanity
In this Nuthouse Called Nashville
