runnin' on tennessee time

there's a tap on my window

there's a ring at my door

and i'll answer in tennessee time

houston's a hard town

new york's not for mine

every town i drift through

i just can't unwind

new orleans hustle

keeps a woman down

waters so high

i can't touch the ground

thought there'd be something

in those bright lights

but all i got was lonely sleepless nights

now i know what i didn't know back then

so when i get to tennessee i'll never leave again
