Go Back to Tennessee
Ken Mattox/Steve Mattox

She woke up Sunday morning to the ringing of the phone
Left me barely breathing in the bedroom all alone
Poured her morning coffee, slipped off her chiffon robe
I tried not to notice as she packed her clothes to go

Go back to Tennessee, don’t come home or back to me
Out by the break of dawn, I tried to stop her but she was gone
Go back to Tennessee; if she does, you won’t find me
I’ll be drinking my heart away, working through another day

Too many times I told her, as I tried to hide my lies
The keys are on the table when she makes up her mind
I didn’t feel the distance or the pain when hearts collide
I never thought there’d come a day when she would say goodbye

Go back to Tennessee, don’t come home or back to me
Out by the break of dawn, I tried to stop her but she was gone
Go back to Tennessee, if she does, you won’t find me
I’ll be drinking my heart away, working through another day

I watched her auburn hair dancing in the morning air
Maybe I could change my ways, baby, please, please don’t leave me this way

There’s and empty bottle I left outside the door,
One for every moment I won’t see her anymore

She’s going back to Tennessee, don’t come home or back to me
Out by the break of dawn, I tried to stop her but she was gone
Go back to Tennessee, if she does, you won’t find me
I’ll be drinking my heart away, working through another day

Go back to Tennessee, don’t come home or back to me
Out by the break of dawn, I tried to stop her but she was gone
Go back to Tennessee, if she does, you won’t find me
I’ll be drinking my heart away, working through another day

Excellent tune. Super intro. Vocal and harmonies were excellent. Excellent lyric.
Cool song!! Lots to like here. I feel like the vocals are a bit too soft and jumbled-hard to pick up the lyrics (which are well worth hearing!). Really like this! Take care. Greg
