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.
Chorus:
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
Chorus:
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?
Repeat First Chorus
