Tennessee Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a sadness in the air
On the train to Tennessee
And I know there's no angel watching over me
All I have to hold
Is this atlas and a note that reads
If ever you are ready to come home again
I'll be waiting up
But please don't be too long
You know I never meant to make you lonesome
But I got my own plans
And if you love me, understand
I've got to take this road to find out who I really am
So tonight, I'll take the long way home
And drink until I can't remember you
Or why I ever started
If I can't hold you
Gonna fold you like a note and keep you here
With me
Thought about your smile
On the car ride up to Madison
Are you still letting go?
Are you still letting go?
Cause I've been trying to move on
But I'm feeling so damn lost
Without your love
Without your love
Tonight, I'll take the long way home
And drink until I can't remember you
Or why I ever started
If I can't hold you
Gonna fold you like a note and keep you here
With me
I want you here
With me
Tonight I'll take the long way home
Won't you drink with me until the sun comes up?
Look at what we started
If I can't hold you
I'm gonna fold you like a note and keep you here
With me
