Halfway to Tennessee Lyrics

I think about the hard times burning in the sunshine 

I got a plastic pool and glued it to my feet

When lela comes by later she's gonna ask me for some favor 

So when lela comes around i pretend to be asleep

Jesus is my neighbor he used to be a skater 

He says things ain't the way they used to be 

And by this time tomorrow he'll be halfway to tennessee 

The sidewalk and the sparrow there's a driveway with a sailboat

And a billion sailors walking through the baltic Sea

Like memories and lovers walking towards each other

While the human race standing with me on the beach

If dreaming wasn't offered we'd walk into the water

And float like smoke above the factory

By this time tomorrow we'd be halfway to tennessee 

I been feeling worn out grandpas on the porch now 

He shakes his head and then begins to speak

He tells me disregard the famous courageous men are faceless 

And my sacrifice is all the advice you'll need 

If you rounded up the broken they wouldn't fit inside the ocean

So we're always sailing someplace make believe 

By this time tomorrow we'd be halfway to Tennessee

A drifter killed my father

I tracked her down and shot her 

Word got out now her daughters at the back door screen

A dining room discussion

Our feet they started touching 

She showed me the knife intended for the final scene

We sat and talked for hours

Went and walked around the flowers 

I took her blade and carved our hearts into the sea

And by this time tomorrow we'll be halfway to Tennessee

I been here i been there i don't care where they remember me

I been here i been there i don't care where they remember me

If they ask where we'll be just say halfway to tennessee
