The Lights Of Tennessee
The only thing you ever gave me was a second hand picture frame
That you found on a doorstep down the lane
So I filled it with a picture, a picture of you and me
But I seem to have lost it in the move to Tennessee
All them nights in Hollywood, smokin’ cigarettes and drinkin’ wine
Watchin’ as the world passed me by
But after all of the misery, I never felt so free
As the night I decided to move to Tennessee
The lights of the Boulevard, they led me from your memory
And I finally found myself again in the lights of Tennessee
The leaves they are a fallin’ like I fell so many times before
As Autumn came, I knew I needed more
Los Angeles lost its luster, a dirty city of broken dreams
But I woke up from the nightmare when I moved to Tennessee
The lights of the Boulevard, they led me from your memory
And I finally found myself again in the lights of Tennessee
I bet you never thought that I would move
Because I was always such a lapdog to you
It seems I might owe you a thank you and I know it might be hard to see
When you broke me, you gave me the courage to move to Tennessee
The lights of the Boulevard, they led me from your memory
And I finally found myself again in the lights of Tennessee
