Tennessee Songtext
von Dadface

Do you stand better on your own?
Do you wish that I would come back home?
The smell of cigarettes, it leaks, into my lungs every time I breathe
I taste tobacco in your air
I feel your absence when you stare at the back of me
You′re imprinting with every time you say, "Sorry."
Sorry

450 weeks, three blinks since you last called me
And I haven't picked up the last dozen times
So you know what alone is like
Darling, listen, mark my words
I could leave you here in your dirt
Don′t go back to Tennessee
Tell me what is wrong with me


Have you moved on yet; it's been eight years
A question for you, for me, for tears
Who took your place? A dozen guys
But, just like you, none put the time
Wishing funny Englishmen got to my mom before you did
But they were all on the TV while you were off in Tennessee

Now you have another kid to focus all your attention
Be for her what you never were for me—don't leave her in the dirt
She doesn′t deserve that treatment, just like you don′t deserve her
Just don't leave her in the dirt
Please, I beg, don′t leave her

Take me back to Tennessee, tell me what is wrong with me
Take me back to Tennessee, tell me what is wrong with me
Take me back to Tennessee, tell me what is wrong with me
Don't go back to Tennessee, tell me what is wrong with me
