Charles Kelley - Leaving Nashville Lyrics

There's so much in this song that only a Nashville writer will understand. So fucking beautiful.

Miss that one man I started my journey off with going Los Angeles and he got off at San Berdino..do anything if he would come back to Dallas

Miss Nashville so much 😩😭😢

Beautiful song and it’s really good

Great job. I know I'm a couple years behind this post but this is Great. Amazing voice and Soul. Charles you Rock!

Descobri esse cara talentoso cantando com Kris Kristofferson e uma mulher chamada Lady...ficou magnífica a música,uma das mais linndas que eu já vi ❤️❤️❤️❤️🎶🎶🎶🎶🙏

Love the lyrics and Charles voice perfect fit. Can't wait to visit Nashville for my Birthday!

Venha cantar aqui no Brasil....Você vai arrasar 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎤🎼♩🎶🎵

Although i listen to mostly kendrick lamar this song I think is amazing

Lindo e canta muito bem, parabéns, continua

his voice is INCREDIBLE!!!!

I know right? Can’t get enough, I’m in love with it

Great song rendition of a song written by Donovan Woods.

So much great emotion in this song. Love it.

This song is true about the plight of the Songwriter everywhere! Cheated out of royalties by a broken system, 'til one day, the music dies! I'm tired of getting songwriters off my porch in Nashville just by paying for my Pizza. Give the they respect and money they deserve! Thanks Charles!

I love this song.... so authentic! It describes so many people I care about. Songwriting is a noble profession and songwriters deserve to be able to make a living with their songs, but sadly the old days are gone && we've not quite figured out the future when it comes to paying the songwriter a decent wage for his or her time and talent. Somehow that hasn't dimmed the intense need for writers to write, singers to sing, & pickers to pick. it's a soul thing and I suppose the payment is the doing of it...... and once in awhile one of us wins the lottery and gets one on the radio and makes a few bucks! Go Charles, this is a great song!

Awesome song, amazing lyrics and a voice to give the chills! Fantastic!

Great vocal, shame about his squeaking leather jacket. Country Stars!

Incredible song, brilliant album and what a fabulous solo voice Charles Kelley has, on the strength of this I will be buying the album.

Me too! All his songs are amazing! And I love Nashville :)

DONOVAN WOODS wrote this and sings the hell out of this song. F this guy. I can sing this better. It's like he just read the lyrics for the first time

"Pour out your heart in 3:20" You got that right Charles Kelley :) Revelation 3:20 New King James Version (NKJV)

20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.

I cried when I heard this song. No singer or musician can hear it without a tear. Leaving is saying goodbye to your dream. Cried when I left, but I wasn't prepared to do some of the things I saw people do to get noticed. It's a hard business.

Beautiful man with great cords!!

Great performance, with great lyrics by the one and only (one of my favourites) Donovan Woods!!!

Why so many dislikes? This song is friggin amazing.

Great song!! Love them all. As another Fan said "Beautiful Story Telling"/Lyrics!! Charles has a great voice and a talent that's good enough to venture out on His own. Best of luck to you Charles. I do hope this is NOT the end of Lady Antebellum because Hillary's voice and yours really harmonize & what comes out in the end is great. Do love what your doing too!! 💜 👍

This just tied "I Drive Your Truck" for my fav all time

Beautiful words to a beautiful song,,,,

Good song and a great voice.
...but seeing a dude with a wanna-be hipster beard, another with Pippi-Longstocking braids, and another with a top knot makes me wonder "What the hell happened to Nashville?"
Certainly not the Nashville I remember.

I left Nashville years ago along with the so called Music Biz !!!- Got screwed over real bad....

Holy fuck! Beautiful!!!!! You remind me of Springsteen and Vedder! Royalty :)

Well, i hope he isn't leaving Lady Antebellum, he has an amazing voice ;)

Song hits me so hard. We are all just out here trying to make a life out of what we love, whether we make it or not, we will all keep trying until it runs us into the ground.

Anybody else get a Jackson Browne vibe? Great song.

I seriously LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! I also really Love Nashville. You are really amazing!

so long Nashville TN ! Never thought that in Music City , not a small break could happen in 5 years! I do not care for the lyrics on this song , it repeats 3 times but others think its Cool , There must be 1000 songs like it 1million broken music souls 2 Million broken Songwriters and all he could say was , I ain

Wow you have such an amazing beautiful voice Charles Kelley. this song really got to me.........

Wow. Great lyrics

So awesome!! If God would ever give me one wish. I would wish to have a voice like yours. It is so awesome.

I might not live in Nashville but this is such a beautiful song!

Luv it! There are those of us who still love the songs with some Heart!!

No more Lady Antebellum, and I'm not even sad about it. This is worth it

Well about that lol...he should continue with this tho

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!! WAY TO GO CHARLES KELLEY!

Great song, great voice !

Stunnini. Hey, what's up?$ matter sassy "

As the wife of an aspiring songwriter who attends Tin Pan South Nashville annually, I can relate to every lyric! Beautifully written and love Charles Kelley's flawless performance! Well Done, thank you for recording this for all the songwriters out there who need someone to believe in them!

song written by the insanely awesome Donovan Woods actually! Which makes the lyrics even stronger. The lyrics talk about not making rent unless your song gets bought and here it is, his song done by someone else but "as long as I get a cut"

Never got a chance to know how good he can sing with Lady Antebellum, this is a good change!

I love Charles so much. His voice is absolutely beautiful. I'm proud to call myself a fan

to all the people that comment,that are living through this,keep your head up.Music is a friend when u have none,write what u know,and u will find ur way.God bless u guys.

99% of the world won't really get this song, but for the 1% that do this is a perfect representation of a songwriter's journey. Thanks Charles!

i really like it hey0 look juvenile what do you think, guyt...

I like Charles Kelley and he did a good job. I think Donovan Woods (who co-wrote the song) did it a little better.

Amazing. Real talent. One take

His voice reminds me of Sting. Glad i stumbled upon this music vid! Great stuff.

چی بگم والا

As a black person I enjoy country music a lot. Country artists should expand into urban culture...Check out my commentaries on this and more. Click on my image icon..

I like his song "Dayman" a lot more

I never lived in Nashville..

+Froy Lan Traffic sucks balls, rent is hella 'spensive and the people here are rude. Don't worry about it

ummm i love it and the people are amazing

So many diferent opinions :c

what's the truth?

Watch my cover of hollow by tori kelly 👍🏾👍🏾

+Trent Moyer i did its sick!

+ALEJANDRO thanks so much dude

This guy gets it. He knows what it's like to live here.

Many thanks to you Christine leblanch for speaking me of Ms. marie-José. It is really generous just like you so well said ACE. She served me in less than 72 hours a sum of €150,000. What allowed me to achieve my project and soon the holidays of end of the year. More also lose time because she is ready to help anyone. Contact if you are in financial difficulties:
Here are her's mail:[email protected]

+Daniel Johnson ...written by a Canadian...

@Tyson Renshaw I thought he was born in Georgia...

+Daniel Johnson
the guy who wrote the song is Donovan Woods. check him out!

Nashville represents song writing as a whole. Although there are many diffulties and ups and downs to it he just can't leave it.

This dude sounds like Bruce Springsteen...................amazing voice.......makes you feel the music....right from the soul.

Anyone else glance at this and think "finally, Charlie Kelley got signed!" But was disappointed when you clicked on it and saw that it was, in fact, not a joke done by It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia?

yes. I am very disappointed

+Joshua Watson night man aaaaAAAAAaaaaa

Great voice! Should be much more popular than what it's now...

Fantastic song! Did not listen the same for a long time!

Great lyrics and voice

This is actually great. I've lived in Nashville my whole life. I actually go to Hume Fogg in downtown

¡Que canción! tienes un talento maravilloso, serás reconocido en todo el mundo cómo uno de los mejores en poco tiempo ¡Ya lo verás! Saludos desde Latinoamerica. :)

Beautiful song about the gritty truth

Amazing

Fantastic. Please keep doing songs like this. Real songs.

love it.

+Ariya Ikhsan youthink you can check out my music??

All that I can say is, "Wow!" Thanks for that, Charles.

One of the most incredible voices! :-)

left me in tears

@***** wish I could go there !!

dude....sounds like a jackson browne tune.
like. really nice.

love it

Incredible, so much emotion in every word

Beautiful love song to Nashville, and the highs and lows of the songwriter's life.

As a songwriter and performer in Nashville, I can definitely relate to this! These lyrics have so much truth in them! Thanks Charles! Hope to play and open for you again someday soon!

Great song, someone's finally singing the truth again

My thoughts exactly.

+Travis Myatt Yeah, except he didn't write it. It was written by Donovan Woods, and his version is way better.

+Brett Gutoskie It doesn't matter if he wrote it or not, he obviously identifies with it and is able to convey the message and emotion, right? So what does it matter? Just sayin' :)

+Brett Gutoskie Just listened to Donovan Woods' version. Totally like Charles Kelley's version way better. So much more emotion in his voice. But thanks for giving me the option of another singer singing it. I like to hear different versions.

Travis Myatt sad truth.:'(

Love it!!!get these songs on Spotify ASAP 😍

Absolutely incredible song... and amazing performance.
