She asked me where I was from

I said "Somewhere

you never been to"

Little town outside of Knoxville

Hidden by some dogwood trees

tried talkin' with my accent

We held hands and waded into

that blue water

She left her flipflops

by my Red Wings

on the beach

Yeah, but now I'm

dodging potholes

in my sunburnt Silverado

Like a heartbroke Desperado

headed right back to my roots

Somethin' 'bout

the way she kissed me

tells me she'd love

Eastern Tennessee

Yeah, but all I brought back

with me

was some sand in my boots

I said "Let's go shoot tequila"

So we walked back

to that beach bar

She said "Don't cowboys

drink whiskey?"

So we drank bottom shelf

She said

"Damn, that sky looks perfect"

I said "Girl you've never seen

stars like the ones back home"

And she said

"Maybe I should

see them for myself"

Yeah, but now I'm

dodging potholes

in my sunburnt Silverado

Like a heartbroke Desperado

headed right back to my roots

Somethin' 'bout

the way she kissed me

tells me she'd love

Eastern Tennessee

Yeah, but all I brought back

with me

was sand in my boots

I said

"Meet me in the mornin'"

she told me I was crazy

Yeah, but I still thought

that maybe she'd show up

Ah, but now I'm

dodging potholes

in my sunburnt Silverado

Like a heartbroke Desperado

headed right back to my roots

Somethin' 'bout

the way she kissed me

tells me she'd love

EasTennessee

Yeah, but all I brought back

with me

was some sand in my boots

Yeah, but all I brought back

with me

was some sand

in my boots
