Old Dominion's saying "Goodnight Music City" to close out their upcoming album, Barbara, but it's hardly a goodbye.

The band calls the sweet, lullaby-like tune "our love letter to Nashville" in a new Instagram preview.

"Goodnight Broadway, goodnight boots/ Goodnight six-string honky-tonk grooves/ Turn the stools over, give the floor a sweep/ And rock yourself to sleep," lead singer Matthew Ramsey sings in the accompanying studio video. "Singing goodnight tip jar troubadours/ Spinning the truth with the same three chords/ Hang up your rhinestones and finish your whiskey/ And goodnight Music City."

OD's 13-track Barbara arrives Friday.

One song it doesn't include, however, is the band's cover of Tom Petty's "It's Good to Be King" from their recent stop by Howard Stern's studio. You can check it out on YouTube now.
