Tennessee - Shawn Colvin, John 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 rape you
    I'm not the hometown queen
    Who wants to save you
    I heard you callin' to my soul
    From your back roads
    Tennessee
