| Tell me now, Tennessee
|
| Is there anything left for me?
|
| I’m so tired of being tired
|
| Just another bird on a telephone wire
|
| Mama calls me every day
|
| Saying why’d you have to move away?
|
| Well I’m over being over it all
|
| The further I climb the harder I fall
|
| Did I ever really believe it would be easy?
|
| I’ve had it with the highs and lows
|
| Is it time to pack it up and go?
|
| If there’s something I should know
|
| Tell me now, Tennessee
|
| Writing down the reasons why
|
| I’m so lonesome here I could cry
|
| I started here, my heart is here
|
| My hands still shake after all these years
|
| Did I ever really believe it would be easy?
|
| I’ve had it with the highs and lows
|
| Is it time to pack it up and go?
|
| If there’s something I should know
|
| Tell me now, Tennessee
|
| How will I know if it’s the end?
|
| And what do I have to do
|
| To start again
|
| Tell me now, Tennessee
|
| Is there anything left in me?
|
| I started here, my heart is here
|
| Where would I go after all these years?
|
| Did I ever really believe it would be easy?
|
| I’ve had it with the highs and lows
|
| Is it time to pack it up and go?
|
| If there’s something I should know
|
| Tell me now, Tennessee |
