TENNESSEE GOLD

Tennessee
you got a way of gettin’ down on me
and maybe even though I gotta see
the part that made a difference made me free
the part of me the part that’s…

You know, life is always set.
You’re walkin’ ‘round the cigarette
breathless and consumed with love
(or what you think is soul above).

You think I’m just one more circus.
You let out a bold indifference!
You can be sold Tennessee gold.

When I got you on my mind
and I can’t be far behind an emotion I will own
is a savior that’s unknown.
If you’ve got a moment plea-’cause you can’t be far from me.
And I think it’s all too much.
So you better not lose touch.
I’ve been feeling disregard
for the plastic Citicard is a million miles away
from the city that I stay.
They have made it awful.

You know, life is always set.
You’re walkin’ ‘round the cigarette
breathless and consumed with love
(or what you think is soul above).

You think I’m just one more circus.
You let out a bold indifference!
You can be sold Tennessee gold.

Tennessee
you got a way of gettin’ down on me
and maybe even though I gotta see
the part that made a difference made me free
the part of me the part that’s Tennessee…
