Only if you count every single county around Davidson as Metro which is NOT the official definition.

Metro is Davidson only. It went for Kerry. Thankfully, I live in Williamson county (Franklin) which was the biggest Bush county in the state in 2004.

The official definition is ludicrous.

By the way, the rural counties in Middle Tenn used to be solidly Dem, while solidly white. Now the rural counties there are about even (and still lightly populated and not demographically significant), with the suburban and exurban formerly lightly populated Dem counties surrounding Davidson, now much more populated, and swamping Davidson, heavily GOP, and making the Nashville metro area now about 57-58% Bush. It is those counties, Williamson, Rutherford, etc, about eight of them, that is the coup de grace to the Dem party in Tenn all things being equal.
