"Oh Tennessee" lyrics
There's a road runs through my little town
Through the blue ridge mountains westward bound
Woulda crawled on my hands and knees just to get to you
Where dreamers show up every day
Stickers on a guitar case
Not a damn thing but everything to lose
All the mamas say, "Stay safe and call me when you get there."
Oh, Tennessee what have you done
Was it your bullet or the gun?
That took a life of love and chalked it up to a manhunt on the run
Oh, Tennessee what did you do?
Did your lies abuse the truth?
Take a simple kid, simple life to live, and fuck it up all for you
For a little while you were good to me
Even gave me a few good songs to sing
Everybody and their brother sang along
But there's a reason God makes mountains high
Ain't supposed to be an easy climb
You wake up nothing left to do but fall
Sex, booze, and self-abuse just to name a few
Oh, Tennessee what have you done?
Was it your bullet or the gun?
That took a life of love and chalked it up to a manhunt on the run
Oh, Tennessee what did you do?
Did your lies abuse the truth?
Take a simple kid, simple life to live, and fuck it up all for you
Oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee
Oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee
Oh Tennessee I gave everything I had for you
Oheeeee how dare you make this dream come true?
Oh, Tennessee what have you done?
Was it your bullet or the gun?
That took a life of love and chalked it up to a manhunt on the run
Oh, Tennessee what did you do?
Did your lies abuse the truth?
Take a simple kid, simple life to live, and fucked it up all for you
Oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee
Oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee
Oh Tennessee I gave everything I had for you
Oheee how dare you make this dream come true?
Oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee
Oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee
Oh Tennessee I gave everything I had for you
Oheeee how dare you make this dream come true?
Oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee
Oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee
Through the blue ridge mountains westward bound
Woulda crawled on my hands and knees just to get to you
Where dreamers show up every day
Stickers on a guitar case
Not a damn thing but everything to lose
All the mamas say, "Stay safe and call me when you get there."
Oh, Tennessee what have you done
Was it your bullet or the gun?
That took a life of love and chalked it up to a manhunt on the run
Oh, Tennessee what did you do?
Did your lies abuse the truth?
Take a simple kid, simple life to live, and fuck it up all for you
For a little while you were good to me
Even gave me a few good songs to sing
Everybody and their brother sang along
But there's a reason God makes mountains high
Ain't supposed to be an easy climb
You wake up nothing left to do but fall
Sex, booze, and self-abuse just to name a few
Oh, Tennessee what have you done?
Was it your bullet or the gun?
That took a life of love and chalked it up to a manhunt on the run
Oh, Tennessee what did you do?

Take a simple kid, simple life to live, and fuck it up all for you
Oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee
Oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee

Oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee
Oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee

Oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee
Oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee, oh Tennessee
