Tell Me Tennessee

I've been paying my dues on these Music City streets

Plantin' pieces of my heart up and down 16th

If it wasn't for you, your California dream

I wouldn't dream of goin' anywhere

I helped you pack, I topped your tank

I watched your Camry drive away

I wonder where you're at these days

And if you're missin' this place

Tell me Tennessee's in the back of your mind

Them days on Percy Priest and the midtown nights

When you think of twenty-three and the stars in July

Do you picture you and me on a midsummer high?

Every time you're drinkin' Daniels, do you taste that southern heat?

When you're playin' "Hard To Handle," do you ever think of me

If I asked you what you're missin', "Where does your heart wanna be?"

I hope you tell me Tennessee

(I hope you tell me)

If I called your cell, you'd still pick it up

Reminisce all night about high school us

When your lease runs out, couple months from now

Tell me you're headed east, you're comin' home to me

Tell me Tennessee's in the back of your mind

Them days on Percy Priest and the midtown nights

When you think of twenty-three and the stars in July

Do you picture you and me on a midsummer high?

Every time you're drinkin' Daniels, do you taste that southern heat?

When you're playin' "Hard To Handle," do you ever think of me

If I asked you what you're missin', "Where does your heart wanna be?"

Oh, I hope you tell me Tennessee

I hope you tell me Tennessee

Oh

Tell me Tennessee's in the back of your mind

Them days on Percy Priest and the midtown nights

When you think of twenty-three and the stars in July

Do you picture you and me on a midsummer high?

Every time you're drinkin' Daniels, do you taste that southern heat?

When you're playin' "Hard To Handle," do you ever think of me

If I asked you what you're missin', "Where does your heart wanna be?"

Oh, I hope you tell me Tennessee

Mm, I hope you tell me Tennessee

Yeah, mm
