Robert Earl Keen - Leavin' Tennessee lyrics

The sun is settin' On our time living here You've lost the will I've lost the heart We should be leavin' While the coast is still clear Cause we won't make it after dawn We can cash in our chips And pack up the car Lock up the door And hide the key The only two things that mean anything to me Are loving you And leaving Tennessee Silver eagles fly down streets paved with gold Stars keep shining through the dawn Anything you can dream of to hold You can have here for a song But there's a song tonight That's riding the wind I'm the words And you're the melody The only two things that mean anything to me Are loving you And leaving Tennessee It's just the two of us All out on our own That's the way it ought to be The only two things that mean anything to me Are loving you And leaving Tennessee We can call up all our friends on the phone Tell them that someday we'll return First, we have to start to make a new home We have one last bridge to burn Lay your head down and we'll drive Through the night And in the morning light you're gonna see The only things that mean anything to me Are loving you And leaving Tennessee The only things that mean anything to me Are loving you And leaving Tennessee
