Times We Had in Tennessee

I wish I had a window to the ocean I'd open every time the skies are blue Then on that canvas blank but faint horizon I'd daydream all my time with you I wish I had a house up in the mountains That looks out on the Smokies' hazy green 'Cause when I lose my blurred out faith to all this doubting I think about the views we've seen Maybe it's a sign the times are changing The way you wear your hair the floor that creeks The old familiar places torn down for renovations But there's some good that always keeps I know I won't forget the times we had in Tennessee I wonder bout the writers of those movies You watch and watch again while feeling blue If the stories and the lines they put to music Are comfort for their own loss too 'Cause no one knows to hurt without still dreaming And with love always comes a little sad Like the picture frame that holds the moments fleeting You need to reach for someone's hand Maybe it's a sign the times are changing The way you wear your hair the floor that creeks The old familiar places torn down for renovations But there's some good that always keeps I know I won't forget the times we had in Tennessee Now it's like forgetting where you left the car keys And stranded in that empty house alone While your friends are out and drowning in their parties You wonder if you've ever been home I wonder can you make this home 'Cause maybe it's a sign the times are changing The way you wear your hair the floor that creeks The old familiar places torn down for renovations But there's some good that always keeps I know I won't forget the times we had in Tennessee I know I won't forget those times we had in Tennessee
