Tennessee(Album Version) - Shawn Colvin

作词：S. Colvin/J. Leventhal

作曲：S. Colvin/J. Leventhal

I got a cool head doin' alright

But I been up here so long I was starving

For some hot spells summer lights

Shinin' on your back roads

Tennessee

Somebody hit me hard

Right in my own backyard

Somebody put a hope lock on my heart

Runnin' down your back roads

Tennessee

Oh you got the banjos

And they play real slow

Not to me not to me

I never heard such rock and roll

As on your back roads

Tennessee

Now I know you're not to blame

But you know that you should have

Told me

That I would never be the same

After riding down your back roads

Tennessee

Somebody held me tight

Somebody tried to fight

Somebody raced out in the night

Runnin' down your back roads

Tennessee

Oh you kissed the soul of a rebel

In a Yankee girl

You got to me

I heard you callin' 'round the world

From your back roads

Tennessee

I saw somebody standin'

In a field with a crutch

Behind his rich southern daddy

With a Midas touch

They said be outta here by sundown

They said good luck

You might say I was the stranger

Who knew too much

Somebody took a hope lock from my heart

And threw it down your back roads

Tennessee

Oh you feel the north wind blow

That's only me

I want to hear some rock and roll

On your back roads

Tennessee

I'm not the bad city girl

Come down to you

I'm not the hometown queen

Who wants to save you

I heard you callin' to my soul

From your back roads

Tennessee
