Tennessee

Cory Chisel

Just swing across the southern sky

And lift a match to my morning eye

Well we'll all die young if we're lucky babe

You'd hate the dark to prove the dawn

Need me no more and I'll be gone

I'm dieing to love somebody like you love him

And you look just like my darling Tennessee

Do you think she'll know me

Or see me now like the broken man I am

Doing a little bit more than the best I can

Still she's gonna need a little more

So cast your light into my room

Kiss me deep or I'm leaving soon

Well we're far too young to be dieing now

Just draw me down with every word

Til we find out what we deserve

I know I can not pay my debters fee

But you look just like my darling Tennessee

Do you think she'll know me

Or see me now like the broken man I am

Doing a little bit more than the best I can

Still she's gonna need a little more

I would stand in disgrace

I would spit in my saviors face

My coat tattered and torn

Just to know that our love will be reborn

And our days pass like autumn wind

And the world spins around me again

And you look just like my darling Tennessee

Well we'll all die young if we're lucky babe
