I came home on a day when you were thousands of miles away
And I had one for every time I wished the clouds would go away
A static life in satisfaction is what I never want to be
I saw a green sign in the road that showed the way to Tennessee
I listened to a song about love
An abstract thought I learned that no one is above
I thought about the recent things and things to be
Anything to keep my mind from Tennessee
Her eyes couldn't keep me there
Her eyes couldn't keep me there
Her eyes couldn't keep me there
Her eyes couldn't keep me there
I listened to a song about time
And I heard the singer sing "what's yours is mine"
I knew there'd be time before I would see
Why I should travel west in Tennessee
Her eyes couldn't keep me there
Her eyes couldn't keep me there
Her eyes couldn't keep me there
Her eyes couldn't keep me there
Her eyes couldn't keep me there
Her eyes couldn't keep me there
Her I's couldn't keep me there
Her I's couldn't keep me there
Keep me there
Couldn't keep me there
Her eyes were meant to be
So I took that road to Tennessee
