Neon skyline

Crowds and stop signs

Subway rumbles and moans

Homesick feelings got me

Barefoot dreaming and it's

Takin' me back to where I'm from

chorus:

On a Tennessee road windin' down

From the hills of my hometown

Runnin' straight from,

my heart to my soul

Where every son and daughter knows

One lane comes and one lane goes

So hold my dreams ‘til I come home

Tennessee road

Restless woman

Just tryin' to be someone

You know someday

I'll come back and settle down

Maybe have some children

Yeah I'll call ‘em young'uns

I'll do my best to give ‘em,

a place to call their own

repeat chorus

I'm gonna come back to you,

oh yeah

repeat chorus
