Runnin´ on tennessee time
Runnin´ on tennessee time
There´s a tap on my window
There´s a ring at my door
And i´ll asnwer in tennessee time
Houston´s a hard town
New york´s not for mine
Every town i drift through
I just can´t unwind
New orleans hustle
Keeps a woman down
Waters so high
I can´t touch the ground
Runnin´ on tennessee time
Runnin´ on tennessee time
There´s a tap on my window
There´s a ring at my door
And i´ll asnwer in tennessee time
Thought there´d be something
In those bright lights
But all i got was lonely sleepless nights
Now i know what i didn´t know back then
So when i get to tennessee i´ll never leave again
Runnin´ on tennessee time
Runnin´ on tennessee time
There´s a tap on my window
There´s a ring at my door
And i´ll asnwer in tennessee time
