Tennessee

I grew up strong, I learned to fight, Virginia mountains in the firelight but it's high time that I made things right

I listened well to what I was told, all it did for me all it shows is I'm high and dry in the cold

I'm heading down the road

Headlights pointed home

Leaving everything I know

I'm going to Tennessee

I played it straight, I learned the rules, didn't talk back when I wanted to, because sometimes the right words won't do

Followed blind to the wheels that turn, made my way with these lessons learned, but some lights shine so bright they burn

I'm heading down the road
