Many people are still processing the Christmas day bombing that happened along 2nd Ave in downtown Nashville.

Tim McGraw, who has called Music City home for many years now, is one of those people, “Trying to find the words….but this is a tough one.”

Tim posted this message of support, “On Christmas Morning, the world watched as Nashville was hit by another tragedy. It’s been a year….but we will rise again. Grateful for the first responders who spent Christmas morning on one of our toughest years ensuring that no lives were lost. We are bruised, but not broken. Praying for my city and hopeful that we will find the strength to rise once again with the dawning of a New Year. #NASHVILLESTRONG”

Tim also included in his post this musical tribute to the city he loves so much…
