lyrics

Tennessee

Renting doesn't feel like much
It's a heartbreak all its own
And these city streets don't look like much
Not anymore, not a home.
Old familiar faces
Seem like ghosts somehow to me
And I'm haunting myself quietly
With every pair of eyes I see
And All my favourite songs these days
Just make me want to leave
And I've never made a song like this
I can't tell what it'll be

Tennessee tennnessee
One day I'll set my flag in thee
I'm done with familiar faces
And I need some clarity
And the Appalachian sky seems
Like a better sight to see
Tonight ohhhh tennessee.


I've had rats in my apartment now
For several summer months
And I can't help but feeling like
This city's nibbling at my trust
And I feel so all alone in all
These bars that felt like home
But the liquor that I order
Gets me staring at my phone
And every mile I drive
Is a little breathe of air
And I leave behind my 9 to 5
Wind rushing through my hair

Tennessee tennnessee
One day I'll set my flag in thee
Cause my heart can't take much more of
All this bullshit that I see
And the Appalachian sky seems
Like a better sight to see
Tonight ohhhh tennessee.

Tennessee tennnessee
One day I'll set my flag in thee
I'm done with familiar faces
And I need some clarity
And the Appalachian sky seems
Like a better sight to see
Tonight ohhhh tennessee.
