Tell me now Tennessee
Is there anything left for me?
I'm so tired of being tired
Just another bird on the telephone wire

Mama calls me everyday
Saying why'd you have to move away?
Well I'm over being over it all
The further I climb, the further I fall

Did I ever believe it would be easy?
I've had it with the highs and lows
Is it time to pack it up and go?
If there's something I should know?

Tell me now Tennessee
Writin' down the reasons why
I'm so lonesome here I could cry
I started here my heart is hear

My hands still shake after all these years
Did I ever believe it would be easy?
I've had it with the highs and lows
Is it time to pack it up and go?

If there's something I should know?
Tell me now Tennessee
How will I know if it's the end?
And what'll I'll have to do to start again?

Tell me now Tennessee
Is there anything left in me?
I started here, my heart is here
Where would I go after all these years?

Did I ever believe it would be easy?
I've had it with the highs and lows
Is it time to pack it up and go?
If there's something I should know
Tell me now Tennessee
