Tennessee Sun

Why you always talkin' about the future Like it's a neighbor you've known all your life? I caught you gnawing at your eraser I don't think you'll ever make things right But maybe I'm wrong and I can eat my words And you can hold it hard against me till that familiar burn You've been stickin' my crows all over this town But if you'd like to join me in the Here and the Now I'm lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down Back in Maury City, didn't we run that town? But when junior joined us in July Didn't they lump us in a census, didn't they thump us in a fence Didn't somewhere-along you just wanna die? Love is like the squeezin' of a grape and it's Sweet, then you're drunk, then it turns you sour Lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down Lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down That Tennessee sun won't be the only one Shining bright up in the hills and the clouds When them eighteen-wheels are haulin' all your Hard feelings back into your step-mama's house When I get my backbone back My motorcycle side-sack, I'll make my rearview mirrors frown Lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down I know time can be a healer but Sometimes you just wanna feel that girl But the hand of the dealer decides how I'm gonna play my next hand I'm goin down, I know it, and I really wanna show it So bring that other bourbon on But don't be startled if I throw it, start a fight with my ghosts And sing some Waylon record till the dawn! I'm a second-generation rambler, baby You had to knock my two feet off the ground Lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down Lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down Lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down
