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 asnwer 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 asnwer 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
So 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 asnwer in Tennessee time
