[Verse 1]
Watchin' TV just makes me sad
Too many people treatin' people too bad
I say, Oh, there ain't no hope
My old lady, she's sure gon' be mad
Just spent the last fifty bucks that we had
Spent the last fifty bucks that we had on bad dope

[Chorus]
East Nashville skyline
Crossing over to a state of mind
Leaving all my troubles way behind
That ol' Cumberland River
East Nashville skyline
Discount cigarettes, liquor, and wine
Anywhere, anytime
We deliver

[Verse 2]
I'm still mad about the Slow Bar
I guess that's just the way things are
Something good comes along, then it's gone
It's kinda like Phoenix Radio
We used to listen, then where did it go?
It went off of the air so that more Sheryl Crow could come on
Come on
[Chorus]
East Nashville skyline
Crossing over to a state of mind
Leaving all my troubles way behind
That ol' Cumberland River
East Nashville skyline
Discount cigarettes, liquor, and wine
Anywhere, anytime
We deliver

[Verse 3]
Crossing the river to play 'em our songs
They're prob'ly right to say that we're all wrong
For these days, these days
So much for money, so much for big
Who needs the trouble? There's always a gig
There's always a gig at the Café, the Radio Café

[Chorus]
East Nashville skyline
Crossing over to a state of mind
Leaving all my troubles way behind
That ol' Cumberland River
East Nashville skyline
Discount cigarettes, liquor, and wine
Anywhere, anytime
We deliver
[Chorus]
East Nashville skyline
Crossing over to a state of mind
Leaving all my troubles way behind
That ol' Cumberland River
East Nashville skyline
Discount cigarettes, liquor, and wine
Anywhere, anytime
We deliver
