I've been on a one-way track

Guess there's no more looking back without you

I've known loneliness before

Here it's knockin ' at my door again

What's been done and what's been said

One love's gone and my head's all for leavin'

Taos is home but signs look good

And my mind's on that road to Tennessee

Western sky shinin' warm upon my back

Save a fiery setting sun for me

Misty eye

Needs a starry southern night

To shine a trail from Taos to Tennessee

Times are fast dreams move slow

Nashville and New Mexico's the same

And if I could have my way

I'd take your love when I leave town today

Mountain sage desert pine

How I hate to leave it all behind

Southern ways are new to me

For a song it's where I wanna to be

Western sky shinin' warm upon my back

Save a fiery setting sun for me

Misty eye

Needs a starry southern night

To shine a trail from Taos to Tennessee

To shine a trail from Taos to Tennessee
