I'm in Tennessee

LA ain't no place to start a family

That's what you said the day that you left town

Those dreams you've been chasin' don't include me

But I'm hopin' that someday you'll come around

It still hits me when I'm drivin' by your exit

My poor heart keeps on tellin' me to turn

I guess that there's no way I'll ever change it

It seems this broken heart'll never learn

Those big city lights might shine brighter

Than anything you ever saw in me

I'd give anything at all to make you happy

For one more chance, I'd get down on my knees

But you're in LA, and I'm in Tennessee

You're in LA, and I'm in Tennessee

You told me that you can't go on pretending

But nothin's ever felt so real to me

Happiness is what you make it

Wish those pretty eyes of yours could finally see

Those big city lights might shine brighter

Than anything you ever saw in me

I'd give anything at all to make you happy

For one more chance, I'd get down on my knees

But you're in LA, and I'm in Tennessee

Those big city lights might shine brighter

Than anything you ever saw in me

I'd give anything at all to make you happy

For one more chance, oh, I'd get down on my knees

Hello LA, come back to Tennessee

Goodbye LA; I'm in Tennessee
