Bound for Tennessee
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.
I tried to tell you but I couldn´t find a word
Maybe, I did and you misunder stood
I guess, I thought it better for never we should be
I waited too long now, I´m bound for Tennes see
There´s no use wonderin`
Things are never what they seem
No sense in turning round
Looking back won’t change a thing
That ship is sailing
It´s gone out on the sea
I waited too long
Now I´m bound for Tennessee
Break
And when I am gone
Even long gone better, yeah
I won’t forget you
Hear your voice in my head
I missed my chance to tell you
How much you meant to me
I waited too long
Now I´m bound for Tennessee
Mandoline
Promised not to call you
And I won’t write you anymore
I lived that good life
Isn´t that what livin´s for?
It´s not the going
It´s the staying that worries me
´cause I waited too long
Now, I´m bound for Tennessee
Yes, we waited too long
Now, I´m bound for Tennessee
