Lyrics
There's a place in the corner of my mind
Where I keep all my memories
Like sittin' by the fire on a cold, rainy day
With a misty mountain lady
I recall in my younger days
I was tall, lean and lonesome
I played my guitar in all kind of bars
But I didn't have a woman at home
Sittin' here lonely under the Nashville moon
Sittin' here lonely under the Nashville moon
I walked in the door of Tootsies Orchid Lounge
I saw a girl in a blue denim gown
She saw me standin' there, I was all alone
She said, "Come on over, honey, sit down"
Pretty eyes like turquoise skies
And she flashed me such a beautiful smile
She moved her fine body like a lady of grace
She's a real southern woman of style
I said, "Why's a fine lookin' girl like you
Sittin' all alone like this?"
She pulled me aside and held me real tight
Started this song with a kiss
Sittin' here lonely under the Nashville moon
Sit down and join me, drink a few beers
And sing a few lines to this tune
George Jones sung on a jukebox
We'll slow dance all night long
Sittin' here lonely under the Nashville moon
We spent the time tellin' foolish lies
But later I saw a strange look in her eyes
She got up to leave without a second glance
She said, "Honey, you had your chance"
Wasted my money, wounded my pride
Left me standin' on Broadway in the middle of the night
She looked so fine, I shoulda made her mine
I've been a fool one more time
Sittin' here lonely under the Nashville moon
Sit down and join me and drink a few beers
And sing a few lines to this tune
I shoulda told her I loved her
I thought it was too soon
Sittin' here lonely under the Nashville moon
Sittin' here lonely under the Nashville moon
Sittin' here lonely under the Nashville moon
