Tennessee

I came home on a day when you were thousands of miles away And I had one for every time I wished the clouds would go away A static life in satisfaction is what I never want to be I saw a green sign in the road that showed the way to Tennessee I listened to a song about love An abstract thought I learned that no one is above I thought about the recent things and things to be Anything to keep my mind from Tennessee Her eyes couldn't keep me there Her eyes couldn't keep me there Her eyes couldn't keep me there Her eyes couldn't keep me there I listened to a song about time And I heard the singer sing "what's yours is mine" I knew there'd be time before I would see Why I should travel west in Tennessee Her eyes couldn't keep me there Her eyes couldn't keep me there Her eyes couldn't keep me there Her eyes couldn't keep me there Her eyes couldn't keep me there Her eyes couldn't keep me there Her I's couldn't keep me there Her I's couldn't keep me there Keep me there Couldn't keep me there Her eyes were meant to be So I took that road to Tennessee
