I interviewed for  a job in Nashville TN. I was told before I could be offered the position I had to move to the Nashville area. Well I moved thinking I had a job, but when I called and told them I had moved. I was told "something had come up with the position and will be contacted after it was resolved". Can I still deduct my moving expenses.

You can deduct your moving expenses this year if you find a job in your new location within one year of your move.

This, from Publication 521, Moving Expenses:

In most cases, you can consider moving expenses incurred within 1 year from the date you first reported to work at the new location as closely related in time to the start of work. It isn't necessary that you arrange to work before moving to a new location, as long as you actually go to work in that location.
