Tell Me Tennessee Lyrics by Matt Schuster
I’ve been paying my dues on these Music City streets
Planting pieces of my heart up and down 16th
If it wasn’t for you and your California dream
I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere
I helped you pack, I topped your tank
I watched your Camry drive away
I wonder where you’re at these days
And if you’re missing this place
Tell me Tennessee is in the back of your mind
Them days on Percy Priest and the midtown nights
When you think of 23 and the stars in July
Do you picture you and me on a midsummer high
Every time you’re drinking Daniels
Do you taste that southern heat
When you’re playing Hard To Handle, do you ever think of me
If I asked you what you’re missing
Where does your heart wanna be
I hope you tell me Tennessee
If I called your cell, you’d still pick it up
Reminisce all night about high school us
When your lease runs out, couple months from now
Tell me you’re headed east
You’re coming home to me
Tell me Tennessee is in the back of your mind
Them days on Percy Priest and the midtown nights
When you think of 23 and the stars in July
Do you picture you and me on a midsummer high
Every time you’re drinking Daniels
Do you taste that southern heat
When you’re playing Hard To Handle, do you ever think of me
If I asked you what you’re missing
Where does your heart wanna be
I hope you tell me Tennessee
I hope you tell me Tennessee
Tell me Tennessee is in the back of your mind
Them days on Percy Priest and the midtown nights
When you think of 23 and the stars in July
Do you picture you and me on a midsummer high
Every time you’re drinking Daniels
Do you taste that southern heat
When you’re playing Hard To Handle, do you ever think of me
If I asked you what you’re missing
Where does your heart wanna be
I hope you tell me Tennessee
I hope you tell me Tennessee
