Tennessee Song Pt. 2 - 1997

She doesn’t want another one of your letters

Or another midnight call to wake her up

She doesn’t need your empty promises

You just gotta give her time now

And let her forget your love

Let those feelings fade like ashes in the wind

Leave your letters in the rain

You’ll only break her heart.

You know it’s true.

You just gotta give her space now

And let her forget the pain

I’ve been trying to figure you out

Are you ever gonna change?

I’ll be coming back around

Are you ever gonna stay?

If your thoughts begin to tumble like the hills in Tennessee

Don’t waste your song on me

(Because it all just sounds the same)

She doesn’t need to be reminded

Go back to your room and sleep tonight

Or pour another drink and sing a sad, sad song

You just gotta disappear now

And let her forget your lies

I’ve been trying to figure you out

Are you ever gonna change?

I’ll be coming back around

Are you ever gonna stay?

If your body’s getting restless like the windy city breeze

Don’t waste your song on me

(Because it all just sounds the same)

So let me live with what I’ve taken from your eyes

Keep them away from me

Keep them away from me

Because it’s bad enough I’m always by your side

I can’t afford to be the only one on your mind

I’ve been trying to figure you out

Are you ever gonna change?

I’ll be coming back around

Are you ever gonna stay?

If your heart begins to crumble like the streets of New Orleans

Don’t waste your song on me

(Because it all just sounds the same)

I’ve been trying to figure you out

Are you ever gonna change?

I’ll be coming back around

Are you ever gonna stay?

If your soul begins to blacken like the vengeance of the sea

Don’t waste your song on me
