Tennessee Lyrics

When you grow up in a cage

It's bound to bend your spine

And you're waiting around

For help to come but it's alright

It's alright

For help to come but it's alright

If you make it out alive

It's hard to see the walls die

Is it better to be

Safe or to be happy? (Be happy)

Nothing to make it alright

Fresh air in the night

And this loving touch

Loving touch from a mother who won't forget

Where they're from

At least we've got each other to lean on today

Hoping you won't remember everything

In Tennessee

In Tennessee

Everyone loves your eyes

But I bet they'd never realize

How you made it to here

Miles and miles of breaking (Of shaking)

Miles and miles of breaking

Fresh air in the night

And this loving touch

Loving touch from a mother who won't forget

Where they're from

At least we've got each other to lean on today

Hoping you won't remember everything

In Tennessee

In Tennessee

I'm feeling down about the way it was for you before

I'm feeling down about the way it was for me before

I'm feeling down about the way it was for you before

I'm feeling down about the way it was for you before

This loving touch

Loving touch from a mother who won't forget

Where they're from

At least we've got each other to lean on today

Hoping you won't remember everything

In Tennessee

In Tennessee
