She asked me where I was from
I said somewhere you've never been to
A little town outside of Knoxville
Hidden by some dogwood trees
She tried talking with my accent
We held hands and waded into that blue water
She left her flip-flops by my red wings on
the beach Yeah, but now I'm dodging potholes
And my sunburn's a silver idol Like a heartbroke desperado
Headed right back to my roots Something about the way she kissed me
Tells me she loved eastern Tennessee Yeah,
but all I brought back with me
Was some sand in my boots
She 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 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 And my sunburn's a silver idol
Like a heartbroke desperado Headed right back to my roots
Something about the way she kissed me
Tells me she loved eastern Tennessee
Yeah,
but all I brought back with me Was some sand in my boots
Yeah,
but now I'm dodging potholes And my sunburn's a silver idol
Like a heartbroke desperado Headed right back to my roots
Something about the way she kissed me
Tells me she loved eastern Tennessee
Yeah,
but all I brought back with me Was some sand in my boots
