Текст песни: No Napkins in Nashville + перевод

I was sittin' in a diner

Down in Tennessee,

When this waitress spilled hot coffee

All over me.

She said, «Sorry, Honey! Let me get a

Towel for you.»

I said, «That's all right, mama,

Some napkins’ll do.»

She looked down at me like I came

From outer space,

And said, «You mean you don’t know

What they call this place?»

When I couldn’t answer the question

That she hurled,

She yelled, «This is the music capital

Of the world! And honestly, Honey,

That is why

There are no napkins in Nashville;

The songwriters grab every one.

There’ll be no napkins in Nashville

Till the very last song is done."

These lines passed me by,

And the napkins caught them all.

Yeah, they wrote down every line,

And that is why there are no napkins at all

Here in Nashville.

I looked around and saw that what she

Said was true.

Every time someone spoke, the pens

And pencils flew.

No idea expressed was too large

Or too small.

The pens and pencils flew; the napkins

Caught it all:

I’m gonna miss her until I get

My scope fixed.

I’m shaken, but I’m not stirred;

My feelings are mixed.

I feel like we’ve bonded, and I’m

Coming unglued,

So, play those milk cow blues to put me

In the mood.

There are no napkins in Nashville;

The songwriters grab every one.

There’ll be no napkins in Nashville

Till the very last song is done.

These lines passed me by,

And the napkins caught them all.

Yeah, they wrote down every line,

And that is why there are no napkins at all

Down here in Nashville.
