Lyrics Tennessee Rain - Grant-Lee Phillips

Tennessee Rain

Big town, ya bum around
Down to a dime
Try to keep yourself from getting lost
Slow poke, goin' broke
‘Bout out a' time
Band’s all speedin' up and getting' tossed
Somewhere that I’d be better off…
Like the cool winds a' blowin'
I’ll get to where I’m goin'
That sun is still plenty high
The road goes on for days
Winding all which-a-ways
Wash all the tears from my eyes
Tennessee rain
Just wanna' settle in
Find a little shade
Far on out where I can breath the air
Might be the rollin' hills
Where I come to land
Live out all my days without a care
We’ll get a couple rockin' chairs
Like the cool winds a' blowin'
I’ll get to where I’m goin'
That sun is still plenty high
The road goes on for days
Winding all which-a-ways
Wash all the tears from my eyes
Tennessee rain
Tennessee rain
Long as I got as your hand
I’m stronger than a mule
I’ll take whatever’s bound to come my way
Stay by me and I won’t wander like a fool
Or vanish on the trail without a trace
You are my compass, aren’t ya babe
Like the cool winds a' blowin'
I’ll get to where I’m goin'
That sun is still plenty high
The road goes on for days
Winding all which-a-ways
Wash all the tears from my eyes
Tennessee rain
Wash all the tears from my eyes
Tennessee rain
