Tennessee Sun

Why you always talkin' about the future
 Like it's a neighbor you've known all your life?
 I caught you gnawing at your eraser
 I don't think you'll ever make things right
 But maybe I'm wrong and I can eat my words
 And you can hold it hard against me till that familiar burn
 You've been stickin' my crows all over this town
 But if you'd like to join me in the Here and the Now
 I'm lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down
 Back in Maury City, didn't we run that town?
 But when junior joined us in July
 Didn't they lump us in a census, didn't they thump us in a fence
 Didn't somewhere-along you just wanna die?
 Love is like the squeezin' of a grape and it's
 Sweet, then you're drunk, then it turns you sour
 Lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down
 Lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down
 That Tennessee sun won't be the only one
 Shining bright up in the hills and the clouds
 When them eighteen-wheels are haulin' all your
 Hard feelings back into your step-mama's house
 When I get my backbone back
 My motorcycle side-sack, I'll make my rearview mirrors frown
 Lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down
 I know time can be a healer but
 Sometimes you just wanna feel that girl
 But the hand of the dealer decides how I'm gonna play my next hand
 I'm goin down, I know it, and I really wanna show it
 So bring that other bourbon on
 But don't be startled if I throw it, start a fight with my ghosts
 And sing some Waylon record till the dawn!
 I'm a second-generation rambler, baby
 You had to knock my two feet off the ground
 Lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down
 Lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down
 Lettin' go of everything I don't need on my way down
