Tennessee ft. Bart Topher Lyrics

I went up to the mountains

Rolled down the Mississippi

I was searching for something

I just didn't know it then

All these miles I have traveled

All these places I've been

I've played poker at the Bellagio

I've been fishing in Cairns

I got robbed in Manila

I fell in love in Trondheim

All these harbors I've waited in

All these bars where I drank

All these faces that I have passed

Destinies I have seen

I would have written you letters

If I thought that you'd read them

I would have sent you some prayers

If I thought that you'd need them

But we have been strangers

For a long time now

Took me so long to figure it out

Can't pull the roots out of me

All these miles and all these bars

Just to get back to Tennessee

Here I've got the Cherokee

I belong on the soil of Tennessee

Here I got the Appalachians

And I've got someone new
