Back to Tennessee - Josiah and the Bonnevilles

Packing up to leave and everything’s a lie

Everything’s on fire everything I own

I cannot believe she left me here on wires all exposed

And there lining up my soul

Now the boxes by the door singing where you gunna go

The piano in the drive signing don’t leave me alone

Elizabeth wants to see me less

Jesus wants to see me more

He says he’s got somethings in store

Say farewell and I’m gone

Back to Tennessee

Where they’ll meet me with scorn

But I know they’ll meet me

Say farewell and I will be on down the line

Say farewell and I’m gone

Back to Tennessee

Written on the walls are all the memories

And pieces now they fall

And terrible my penmanship I know is gunna cause

A couple here and there

But baby there not lost

I wrote them on our souls

Now the boxes by the door singing where we gunna go

The piano down the drive down 6th avenue it rolls

Elizabeth wants to see me less

She says I was a lost cause

The time will never fix my flaws

Say farewell and I’m gone

Back to Tennessee

Where they’ll meet me with scorn

But I know they’ll meet me

Say farewell and I will be on down the line

Say farewell and I’m gone

Back to Tennessee

Farewell and I’m gone

Back to Tennessee

Where they’ll meet me with scorn

But I know they’ll meet me

Say farewell and I will be on down the line

Say farewell and I will un-tell all those lies

Say farewell and I will un-slip all these ties

Say farewell and I’m gone

Back to Tennessee
