Tennessee Cross ft. Jeff Weeks Lyrics

The rooster crows and he knows

He's tired as hell and it shows

He sees in his own shadow

Hanging guard over all he owes

Harvest time is drawing near

Clear the fields, there's wool to shear

Hope for a damn good harvest

Hanging guard over all that's dear

Tennessee Cross to bear, it's on me

The shadow crosses the rows

He's a scare to all them crows

Still they circle as the wind blows

He's on guard over all that he owes

Tennessee Cross to bear, it's on me

Tennessee Cross to bear, it's on me

This home is cold and he should've known

This really wasn't her dream

Sweet prairie girl, wild as the tornado whirls

Just wanted to see, she just wanted to see

More of the world

But how could he up and leave

This land passed down from his family

While he's pulling those ends to meet

He can feel nails through his feet

Tennessee Cross to bear, it's on me

Tennessee Cross to bear, it's on me

Tennessee Cross to bear, it's on me

Tennessee Cross to bear, it's on me
