I left the west coast, watched the palm trees
Wave goodbye, it was a hard drive,
I had to say goodbye to you.
I stopped for some Coca-Cola and some Corn Nuts too.
I thought about turning back, I already missed you.
If you need me, burn it up, bend the rules, leave right away
If you need me, take a four-lane headed my way
Take a bus, take a plane, take a car, take a train,
Take a bike, hitch a ride, you decide.
If you need me you know where I'll be, yeah
In Tennessee
Going through my boxes, found a photograph
Where you're sitting on a mule in Mexico, picture perfect point of view
And then a post card dropped from the book you gave me
On my birthday, and it hit me baby
If you need me, burn it up, bend the rules, leave right away
If you need me, take a four-lane, headed my wayTake a bus, take a plane, take a car, take a train
Take a bike, hitch a ride, you decide
If you need me, leave LA, we'll take it day by day,
All alone, here I am, by the phone, understand
It's not too late, what are you waiting for
If you need me, you know where I'll be, yeah
In Tennessee
It's a Sunday morning, I awake, it's just another lonely day
I lie in bed and wonder how long is this gonna takeThen I think to myself, will I ever get a break
Or did I make a big mistake?
Well, I'll light the fire, I'll draw the bubble bath, hey, you do the math
It's just me, and I'm without you, what else could I do?
If you need me, burn it up, bend the rules, leave right away
If you need me, take a four-lane headed my way
Take a bus, take a plane, take a car, take a train,
Take a bike, hitch a ride, you decide.
If you need me you know where I'll be, yeah
In Tennessee
