"Tell Me Tennessee" lyrics

I've been paying my dues on these Music City streets
Plantin' pieces of my heart up and down 16th
If it wasn't for you, your California dream
I wouldn't dream of goin' anywhere
I helped you pack, I topped your tank
I watched your Camry drive away
I wonder where you're at these days
And if you're missin' this place

Tell me Tennessee's in the back of your mind
Them days on Percy Priest and the midtown nights
When you think of twenty-three and the stars in July
Do you picture you and me on a midsummer high?
Every time you're drinkin' Daniels, do you taste that southern heat?
When you're playin' "Hard To Handle," do you ever think of me
If I asked you what you're missin', "Where does your heart wanna be?"
I hope you tell me Tennessee

(I hope you tell me)

If I called your cell, you'd still pick it up
Reminisce all night about high school us
When your lease runs out, couple months from now
Tell me you're headed east, you're comin' home to me

Tell me Tennessee's in the back of your mind
Them days on Percy Priest and the midtown nights
When you think of twenty-three and the stars in July
Do you picture you and me on a midsummer high?
Every time you're drinkin' Daniels, do you taste that southern heat?
When you're playin' "Hard To Handle," do you ever think of me
If I asked you what you're missin', "Where does your heart wanna be?"
Oh, I hope you tell me Tennessee

I hope you tell me Tennessee
Oh

Tell me Tennessee's in the back of your mind
Them days on Percy Priest and the midtown nights
When you think of twenty-three and the stars in July
Do you picture you and me on a midsummer high?
Every time you're drinkin' Daniels, do you taste that southern heat?
When you're playin' "Hard To Handle," do you ever think of me
If I asked you what you're missin', "Where does your heart wanna be?"
Oh, I hope you tell me Tennessee

Mm, I hope you tell me Tennessee
Yeah, mm
