From the recording My Heart Plays These Songs
Lyrics
In Tennessee
(Effron White/Lauren Blaine)
Verse 1:
Sweltering
Summertime
Life in Tennessee
Mid-morning sun
Stoking the heat
Stirring humidity
I wipe the sweat from your brow
Pull back your hair and kiss your smile
Hoping you will see in me
Things ain’t as bad as they could be
Come back here
Share my front porch swing
In Tennessee
Verse 2:
Take that plane now
You’ll be cooler
Back in Oregon
Evergreens
Swayin’ in the rain
I know you love that song
Will you find someone to touch your heart
Someone to melt you in the dark
If you can’t see the stars in the sky above
Just think about me and the lightning bugs
Come back here
Share my front porch swing
In Tennessee
Verse 3:
She said southern boy
You talk so nice
Like a lazy river runs
You take your time
To get somewhere
You never jump the gun
But I have ties to the High Cascades
I don’t know how I can pull away
But as I watch the sun come up
I just wanna drink your sweet tea up
How long can I live
Without that smile
In Tennessee
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK…
REPEAT LAST HALF OF VERSE 3 (‘But I have ties,,,,”)
