Leavin' Tennessee

The sun is settin' on our time livin' here

You've lost the will, I've lost the heart

We should be leavin' while the coast is still clear

'Cause we won't make it after dawn

We cash in our chips and we can pack up the car

Lock up the door and hide the key

The only two things that mean anything to me

Are lovin' you

And leavin' Tennessee

Silver eagles fly down streets paved in gold

The stars keep shinin' through the dawn

Anything that you can dream of to hold

You can have here for a song

But there's a song tonight that ridin' the wind

I'm the words and you're the melody

The only two things that mean anything to me

Are lovin' you

And leavin' Tennessee

It's just the two of us all out on our own

That's the way it ought to be

The only two things that mean anything to me

Are lovin' you

And leavin' Tennessee

We can call up all our friends on the phone

And tell 'em someday we'll return

First we have to start to make a new home

And we have one last bridge to burn

So lay your head down and we'll drive through the night

And in the mornin' light, you're gonna see

The only two things that mean anything to me

Are lovin' you

And leavin' Tennessee

The only two things that mean anything to me

Are lovin' you

And leavin' Tennessee
