Nickajack
It was a hot June morning on the intersate
She was flaggin' me down, I was 20 mintues late
She was broke down, north bound, Georgia line
I pulled on the shoulder and offered her a ride
With just one look, it was heart and soul
We were like a river runnin' out of control
When the Tennessee river hits the Nickajack Dam
Up comes the water over Nickajack land
Like a top on a bottle when it's ready to blow
Love is gonna take you where it wants you to go
When you buckle 'er down 'til she's beggin' to break
Well, a Tennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake
We spent a week together in the next two nights
It was a barn burnin', nothin' ever felt so right
Before we both knew it, we were makin' some plans
Seein' rings on our fingers, on both of our hands
Daddy said I was crazy, mommas both cried
But you gotta tell the world when you got it inside
When the Tennessee river hits the Nickajack Dam
Up comes the water over Nickajack land
Like a top on a bottle when it's ready to blow
Love is gonna take you where it wants you to go
When you buckle 'er down 'til she's beggin' to break
Well, a Tennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake
Now we got a cabin with a window veiw
Of the water and the woods and the ol' dam too
We got a lay away cradle, her jeans are gettin' tight
I guess lovin' makes livin', and livin' makes life
I know how it is, now's the way it should be
'Cause I look outside, and what do I see
When the Tennessee river hits the Nickajack Dam
Up comes the water over Nickajack land
Like a top on a bottle when it's ready to blow
Love is gonna take you where it wants you to go
When you buckle 'er down 'til she's beggin' to break
Well, a Tennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake
Tennessee river hits the Nickajack Dam
Up comes the water over Nickajack land
Like a top on a bottle when it's ready to blow
Love is gonna take you where it wants you to go
When you buckle 'er down 'til she's beggin' to break
Well, a Tennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake
She was flaggin' me down, I was 20 mintues late
She was broke down, north bound, Georgia line
I pulled on the shoulder and offered her a ride
With just one look, it was heart and soul
We were like a river runnin' out of control
When the Tennessee river hits the Nickajack Dam
Up comes the water over Nickajack land
Like a top on a bottle when it's ready to blow
Love is gonna take you where it wants you to go
When you buckle 'er down 'til she's beggin' to break
Well, a Tennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake
We spent a week together in the next two nights
It was a barn burnin', nothin' ever felt so right
Before we both knew it, we were makin' some plans

Well, a Tennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake
