Tell Me Now Tennessee

Tell me now, Tennessee

Is there anything left for me?

I’m so tired of being tired

Just another bird on a telephone wire

Mama calls me every day

Saying why’d you have to move away?

Well I’m over being over it all

The further I climb the harder I fall

Did I ever really believe it would be easy?

I’ve had it with the highs and lows

Is it time to pack it up and go?

If there’s something I should know

Tell me now, Tennessee

Writing down the reasons why

I’m so lonesome here I could cry

I started here, my heart is here

My hands still shake after all these years

Did I ever really believe it would be easy?

I’ve had it with the highs and lows

Is it time to pack it up and go?

If there’s something I should know

Tell me now, Tennessee

How will I know if it’s the end?

And what do I have to do

To start again

Tell me now, Tennessee

Is there anything left in me?

I started here, my heart is here

Where would I go after all these years?

Did I ever really believe it would be easy?

I’ve had it with the highs and lows

Is it time to pack it up and go?

If there’s something I should know

Tell me now, Tennessee
