Sting & Police - Jeremiah Blues (Part 1) lyrics

(Steve Bogard/Steve Curnutte/Matt Maher)

It was a hot June morning on the intersate

She was flaggin' me down, I was 20 mintues late

She was broke down, north bound, Georgia line

I pulled on the shoulder and offered her a ride

With just one look, it was heart and soul

We were like a river runnin' out of control

When the Tennessee river hits the Nickajack Dam

Up come the water over Nickajack land

Like a top on a bottle when it's ready to blow

Love is gonna take ya where it wants you to go

When you buckle 'er down til she's beggin' to break

Well a Tennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake

We spent a week together in the next two nights

It was a barn burnin', nothin' ever felt so right

Before we both knew it we were makin' some plans

Seein' rings on our fingers, on both of our hands

Daddy said I was crazy, mommas both cried

But you gotta tell the world when you feel it inside

When the Tennessee river hits the Nickajack Dam

Up come the water over Nickajack land

Like a top on a bottle when it's ready to blow

Love is gonna take ya where it wants you to go

When you buckle 'er down til she's beggin' to break

Well a Tennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake

Now we got a cabin with a window veiw

Of the water and the woods and the ol' dam too

We got a lay away cradle her jeans are gettin' tight

I guess lovin' makes livin', and livin' makes life

I know how it is now's the way it should

Cause I look outside, and what do I see

When the Tennessee river hits the Nickajack Dam

Up come the water over Nickajack land

Like a top on a bottle when it's ready to blow

Love is gonna take ya where it wants you to go

When you buckle 'er down til she's beggin' to break

Well a Tennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake

When the Tennessee river hits the Nickajack Dam

Up come the water over Nickajack land

Like a top on a bottle when it's ready to blow

Love is gonna take ya where it wants you to go

When you buckle 'er down til she's beggin' to break

Well a Tennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake
