Bittersweet, Tennessee

Devoted my life to the passing of time Crossed over county to the Missouri line And how does one sail on the waves of time? Hey there sailor, can I hitch a ride? There was a time when you were mine Oh, there was a time when you were mine There was a time when you were mine Oh, there was a time, well have one on me Bittersweet, Tennessee Bittersweet, Tennessee Man, you got old, you got upset, you got sick The living took forever, but the dying went quick And oh, just to think you were a little kid Wondering what you'd be when you got big There was no time, suddenly Oh, there was no time, suddenly There was no time, suddenly Oh, there was no time, well have one on me Bittersweet, Tennessee Bittersweet, Tennessee There was no time There was no time There was no time There was no time To free the flame from burning up inside To thunder like a motorcycle, headed down the line To eat, to weep, to lay me down so sweet To sow, to reap or to let our glasses clink To time To time, to time, to time To time, to time To time, to time, to time Bittersweet, Tennessee Bittersweet, Tennessee Bittersweet, Tennessee Bittersweet, Tennessee Well have one on me
