Lyrics

8 TENNESSEE

There's nothing I can recall I can't forgive
And I’ve loved everywhere I’ve ever lived
Findlay Ohio to Cedar Falls
Five states ago, first time that highway called
I still fly back to my heartland family tree
But I won’t be going Tennessee

Fifteen years in Boston, that was good
Back then I called it home and still think I could
We moved from Fenway to Jamaica Plain
Allston out Brighton on the Green Line train
I’d go back in a minute, easily
But I won’t be going Tennessee

Down to Music City, we were looking for a song

A verse to remedy good love gone bad
A soft refrain recalling what we had
But there’s no bridge connecting you and me
So I won’t be going back..

Landed on the west coast, what a scene
Doesn’t quite seem real more like an awesome dream
And I could go on dreaming, living day to day
Even If I never had a plan to stay
I’ll drive away when it comes time to leave
But I won’t be going back to Tennessee
