Tennessee Song Lyrics - A Better View Of The Rising Moon - 1997

There's a sadness in the air 

On the train to Tennessee 

And I know there's no angel 

Watching over me 

All I have to hold is this atlas and a note that reads 

"If ever you are ready to come home again 

I'll be waiting up but please don't be too long" 

You know I never meant to make you lonesome 

But I got my own plans and if you love me, understand 

I've got to take this road to find out who I really am 

So tonight, I'll take the long way home 

And drink until I can't remember you 

Or why I ever started 

If I can't hold you, gonna fold you like a note 

And keep you here with me 

Thought about your smile 

On the car ride up to Madison 

Are you still letting go? 

Are you still letting go? 

'Cause I've been trying to move on 

But I'm feeling so damn lost 

Without your love, without your love 

Tonight, I'll take the long way home 

And drink until I can't remember you 

Or why I ever started 

If I can't hold you, gonna fold you like a note 

And keep you here with me 

I want you here with me 

Tonight I'll take the long way home 

Won't you drink with me until the sun comes up? 

Look at what we started 

If I can't hold you, I'm gonna fold you like a note 

And keep you here with me
