Lyrics

Leaving Tennessee

I’m not good with words
And there ain’t much left to say
I’ve been thinking about leaving
In this town the nights seem long
I slept through yesterday
Just dreaming about leaving

Last time I smiled at you
And waved goodbye
But next time I won’t let you know
Or tell you why

I don’t care where I’m going
As long as I go alone
And the season’s changing
I’ll take any road or sign
That leads away from home
Tomorrow I’m leaving

“I hear it’s a bad time,” you said
But I’ll go to any place but those that I know

Last time I smiled at you
And waved goodbye
But this time I won’t let you know
Or tell you why
