Back to Tennessee

She came in like a wild flame

Blue eyes, red lips, no shame

One touch and I lost my way

One night and I couldn't stay

I gave her all my midnight prayers

She gave me smoke, she disappeared

I tried to love her through the pain

But all I got was pouring rain

She pulled me in

Then let me go

Left me out here

On this broken road

I'm going back, back to Tennessee

Back to the nights that remember me

Back to the roads, back to the dreams

Back to the fire in the fields of green

She took my heart, but she won't take me

I'm going back, back to Tennessee

Back to Tennessee

Back to Tennessee

She wore goodbye like a diamond chain

Made leaving look like a sweet escape

She kissed me hard, then cut me deep

Now her ghost don't let me sleep

I hear her name in the radio sound

But I ain't gonna turn around

There's a little peace in letting go

And a long dirt road back home

She pulled me in

Then let me go

Now I'm flying blind

But I know where home is

I'm going back, back to Tennessee

Back to the nights that remember me

Back to the roads, back to the dreams

Back to the fire in the fields of green

She took my heart, but she won't take me

I'm going back, back to Tennessee

Back to Tennessee

Back to Tennessee

No more whiskey tears

No more wishing she was here

No more running from the truth

I'm running home, I'm running through

I'm going back, back to Tennessee

Back to the nights that remember me

Back to the roads, back to the dreams

Back to the fire in the fields of green

She took my heart, but she won't take me

I'm going back, back to Tennessee

Back to Tennessee

Back to Tennessee

Yeah, I'm going back

Back to Tennessee
