Leavin' Tennessee Robert Earl Keen
Capo 3
[D]The sun is settin? on our [G]time living here
[D]You?ve lost the will, I?ve lost the [G]heart
[D]We should be leavin? while the [G]coast is still clear
[D]Cause we won?t make it after [G]dawn
[Em]We can cash in our chips and [G]pack up the [D]car
[Em]Lock up the door [G]and hide the [A]key
Chorus:
The [D]only two [A]things
That mean [G]anything to [A]me
Are loving [D]you
[A]
And leaving T[G]ennessee
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
Chorus
Bridge:
[G]It?s just the two of us
All [D]out on our [A]own
[G]That?s the way it ought to [A]be
Chorus
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
Chorus
