Tennessee Sun
Why you always talkin' about the future
Like it's a neighbor you've known all your life?
I caught you gnawing at your eraser
I don't think you'll ever make things right
But maybe I'm wrong and I can eat my words
And you can hold it hard against me till that familiar burn
You've been stickin' my crows all over this town
But if you'd like to join me in the Here and the Now
I'm lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down
Back in Maury City, didn't we run that town?
But when junior joined us in July
Didn't they lump us in a census, didn't they thump us in a fence
Didn't somewhere-along you just wanna die?
Love is like the squeezin' of a grape and it's
Sweet, then you're drunk, then it turns you sour
Lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down
Lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down
That Tennessee sun won't be the only one
Shining bright up in the hills and the clouds
When them eighteen-wheels are haulin' all your
Hard feelings back into your step-mama's house
When I get my backbone back
My motorcycle side-sack, I'll make my rearview mirrors frown
Lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down
I know time can be a healer but
Sometimes you just wanna feel that girl
But the hand of the dealer decides how I'm gonna play my next hand
I'm goin down, I know it, and I really wanna show it
So bring that other bourbon on
But don't be startled if I throw it, start a fight with my ghosts
And sing some Waylon record till the dawn!
I'm a second-generation rambler, baby
You had to knock my two feet off the ground
Lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down
Lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down
Lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down
Like it's a neighbor you've known all your life?
I caught you gnawing at your eraser
I don't think you'll ever make things right
But maybe I'm wrong and I can eat my words
And you can hold it hard against me till that familiar burn
You've been stickin' my crows all over this town
But if you'd like to join me in the Here and the Now
I'm lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down
Back in Maury City, didn't we run that town?
But when junior joined us in July
Didn't they lump us in a census, didn't they thump us in a fence
Didn't somewhere-along you just wanna die?
Love is like the squeezin' of a grape and it's
Sweet, then you're drunk, then it turns you sour
Lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down
Lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down
That Tennessee sun won't be the only one
Shining bright up in the hills and the clouds
When them eighteen-wheels are haulin' all your
Hard feelings back into your step-mama's house
When I get my backbone back

Lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down
Lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down
Lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down
