Tennessee to Boulder

As I looked into your eyes

I saw something burning bright, and like a moth

I was drawn to the fire

So I stepped into the flame

And I got burnt and double-chained

To a heart that was burning way too bright

As I rise from the embers, my body still so tender

My heart was left somewhere down the road

Would your memory just let my body go?

Would your memory just let my body go?

But the stain of your fingertips remains on my shoulder

Every time I turn around, there you are

The pain of our final kiss drags from Tennessee to Boulder

I can run fast, but I won't get very far

Oh, I can run fast, but I won't get very far

Every sip makes it stronger

Makes your memory last longer

That's what I'm counting on tonight

So I'll drink until I'm blind

Oh, maybe then you'll leave my mind

Oh, Mr. Barman, won't you give me another one?

Oh, I still taste you on my breath

Oh, is that you or cigarettes?

Oh, I can't tell, my mind ain't thinking clear

Are you gone, or are you standing with me here?

Are you gone, or are you with me, dear?

But the stain of your fingertips remains on my shoulder

Every time I turn around, there you are

The pain of our final kiss drags from Tennessee to Boulder

I can run fast, but I won't get very far

Oh, I can run fast, but I won't get very far

I can run fast, but I won't get very far
