I left the west coast, watched the palm trees
Wave goodbye, it was a hard drive
Had to say goodbye to you
I stopped for some Coca-cola and some corn nuts too
I thought about turning back, I already missed you
If you need me, burn it up, bend the rules, leave right away
If you need me, take a four-lane headed my way
Take a bus, take a plane, take a car, take a train
Take a bike, hitch a ride, you decide
If you need me, you know where I’ll be, yeah
In Tennessee
Going through my boxes found a photograph,
Where you were sitting on a mule in Meixo, picture perfect point of view
And then a post card dropped from a book you gave me On my birthday, and it hit me baby
If you need me, burn it up, bend the rules, leave right away
If you need me, take a four-lane headed my way
Take a bus, take a plane, take a car, take a train
Take a bike, hitch a ride, you decide
If you need me, leave la, we’ll take it day by day
All alone, here I am, by the phone, understand
It’s not too late, what are you waiting for
If you need me, you know where I’ll be, yeah
In Tennessee
It’s a Sunday morning, I awake, just another lonely day
I lie in bed and wonder how long it this gonna take
Then I think so myself, will I ever get a break
Or did I make a big mistake?
Well, I light the fire, I’ll draw the bubble bath, hey, you do the math
It’s just me, and I’m without you, what else could I do?
Repeat first chorus
