I'm not Charles Dickens
I'm not Sydney Carton
I don't live in Paris
I don't live in London
I'm not world famous
My name is Jim Colyer
I'll be 70 in December
And I'm a songwriter

A Tale Of Two Hellholes
Louisville and Nashville
I've spent my life
Driving back and forth
My parents were in Louisville
My son is in Nashville
I live on 65
You know what it's worth

Ain't no guillotines
Ain't no Bastilles
No Revolutions
No one to kill
But these two cities
Have tortured me
I call them hellholes
I've never been free

A Tale Of Two Hellholes
Louisville and Nashville
I've spent my life
Driving back and forth
My parents were in Louisville
My son is in Nashville
I live on 65
You know what it's worth

It's a far far worse thing
Than I'll ever do again

A Tale Of Two Hellholes
Louisville and Nashville
I've spent my life
Driving back and forth
My parents were in Louisville
My son is in Nashville
I live on 65
You know what it's worth
