Tennessee

Well, there's a silence when you're looking at me I wish I could go back to sleep But in this moment you won't look beyond the brown Behind the black Wider peace on my mind and I'm turning back Into the girl you always wanted me to be Bathed in my sympathy, I'm begging to be clean I send a postcard as I try to find my way My ghost behind me, I know I'll make it through AND BE OK, BE OK There's a lot that's up ahead And I'll be catching it first thing in the morning I'm one night away Towards a southern town beneath the stars I'll wander every night TENNESSEE, you've been the nicest place for me Oh, there's a siren that is deafening 'Cause I try to uncover where I've been With everybody second guessing all the moves Their pawns have made Now I laugh to myself at this mess I've made I'm not the girl I always thought that I would be And I stopped holding my breath on silly things But all the years I've spent just trying to believe That I'd make it out of here and on to something ONLY IN MY DREAMS, IN MY DREAMS There's a lot that's up ahead And I'll be catching it first thing in the morning I'm one night away Towards a southern town beneath the stars I'll wander every night TENNESSEE, you've been the nicest place for me And I'm on my way I'm on my way I'm not the girl I always dreamed that I would be But on my way to there I know I'll surely see The mile markers as I drive down 65 Take me to somewhere that had always made me feel ALIVE, OH, ALIVE There's a lot that's up ahead And I'll be catching it first thing in the morning I'm one night away Towards a southern town beneath the stars I'll wander every night TENNESSEE, you've been the nicest place for me
