Duke Don’t Belong

 

It’s been raining in Nashville….

 

From the alley to the stairwell

Of some back street hotel

I’m searching for the secret

That nobody tells

It’s a tale of deception

It steals as it climbs

To the highest dark windows

That the Duke can find

That’s chasing down songs

Where the Duke don’t belong

 

Free your troubled thoughts

Take ‘em out at daylight

And feed them to the pigeons

Before they take flight

Don’t worry about strangers

They mean you no harm

Finish all your chores

Like you would out on a farm

And you’re chasin’ down songs

Where the Duke don’t belong

 

Then you see a family

In the elevator down

They let you see them angels

They’re still all around

You keep chasing down the songs

Where the Duke don’t belong
