"There's A Tennessee Woman / Ben's Song" lyrics

"There's A Tennessee Woman / Ben's Song"

There's blue moon outside my window
But the pain is in my heart
And by now, he's as far as Winslow
He can't wait to see where his name will be
On a Hollywood work stars

There's a town outside my window
But I don't know which one it is
I just did a show in Massachusetts
Now the silver evil is flying down the road again

So I'll just scream and sing my song
Everybody loves me, but you're the one I want
If Hollywood don't work out
And if all your plans fall through
Remember there's a Tennessee woman
Who'll love to share her dreams with you

Mississippi River is outside my window
And I've got to roll which way she flows
But she ain't going to LA county
But a dreamer like me goes anywhere she wants to go

I know you're young, and boy, you're restless
Because I felt that healing too
Honey, you got to follow your own dreams
But I got mine, I'm a bigger dreamer too

So I'll just scream and sing my song
Everybody loves me, but you're the one I want
If Hollywood don't work out
And if all your plans fall through
Remember there's a Tennessee woman
Who'll love to share her dreams with you

So go home honey, chase your rainbow
Someday you may be
Dreaming the same dream
Here with me in Tennessee
We could share the same dream
But it's gotta be in Tennessee
