Tennessee Rain - Grant-Lee Phillips

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
