Runnin' on Tennessee time

Runnin' on Tennessee time

There's a tap on my window

There's a ring at my door

And I'll answer in Tennessee time

Houston's a hard town, New York's not for mine

Every town I drift through, I just can't unwind

New Orleans' hustle keeps a woman down

Waters so high, I can't touch the ground

Runnin' on Tennessee time

Runnin' on Tennessee time

There's a tap on my window

There's a ring at my door

And I'll answer in Tennessee time

Thought there'd be something in those bright lights

But all I got was lonely sleepless nights

Now I know what I didn't know back then

When I get to Tennessee, I'll never leave again

Runnin' on Tennessee time

Runnin' on Tennessee time

There's a tap on my window

There's a ring at my door

And I'll answer in Tennessee time

Runnin' on Tennessee time

Runnin' on Tennessee time

There's a tap on my window

There's a ring at my door

And I'll answer in Tennessee time
