Walter Egan - Rain In Tennessee lyrics

In the rain in Tennessee Friday night remembering what used to be Many miles and years ago Once there was a place and time I used to know But do we ever really know The life before our eyes? Seems like many lives I've led Shared with friends and family some good some bad Memories come visiting Stirring up emotions deep inside of me Thinking bout what used to be And the rain in Tennessee But if I try I close my eyes And travel back against the tide It makes me sad But still I'm glad for all I've had Guess I'll never get to see Everything I ever wished for you and me But we cannot command the fates We must just be thankful for what's on our plates As we wonder what awaits Our life in Tennessee In Tennessee In Tennessee It's all we've got Just you and me Let's make the best And never rest until we just Wake up to a sunny morn When the storm and rainy clouds will all be gone We will look into our eyes With the look we see there we will realize In the rain we've been baptized Here in Tennessee
