Leavin' Tennessee
Robert Earl Keen
Capo 3
[D]The sun is settinâ?? on ou[G]r time living here
[D]Youâ??ve lost the will, Iâ??ve lost [G]the heart
[D]We should be leavinâ?? while th[G]e coast is still clear
[D]Cause we wonâ??t make it afte[G]r 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 thereâ??s a song tonight thatâ??s riding the wind
I'm the words and youâ??re the melody
Chorus
Bridge:
[G]Itâ??s just the two of us
All [D]out on our [A]own
[G]Thatâ??s the way it ought t[A]o be
Chorus
We can call up all our friends on the phone
Tell them that someday weâ??ll return
First, we have to start to make a new home
We have one last bridge to burn
Lay your head down and weâ??ll drive
Through the night and in the morning light youâ??re gonna see
Chorus
