There's a blue sky over Nashville
there's a gentle breeze a-blowin' from the west
I've been walking like forever
could have been just half an hour , maybe less
I take a stroll down Bernard street
and take a right on Belmond Boulevard
there's a blue sky over Nashville
but it's rainin' in my heart

There's a blue sky over Nashville
I can smell the first few flowers of the spring
and the chimes in all their shapes and colours
on the wooden porches softly sing
there's a little brown stray dog
and his barks are chasin' every movin' car
there's a blue sky over Nashville
but it's rainin' in my heart

The coffee house's outside tables
They are packed with young , ambitious dreams
that are fed with countless refills
and the country charts in the local magazines
pretty girls laughin', seekin' fame
in writin’ songs but for the stars
there's a blue sky over Nashville
but it's rainin' in my heart
