He 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
If a man died in a puddle
In my sunburned silver rider
Like a heart-broke desperado
Headed right back to my room
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 boot
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
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 puddles
In my sunburned silver rider
Like a heart-broke desperado
Headed right back to my room
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 boot
In my boot
She said, meet me in the morning
And she told me I was crazy
Yeah
I still thought that maybe she'd show up
Oh, but now I'm dodging puddles
In my sunburned silver rider
Like a heart-broke desperado
Headed right back to my room
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 boot
In my boot
She said, maybe I should see them for myself
Like a heart-broke desperado




In my sunburned silver rider
Headed right back to my room
She said, maybe I should see them for myself
And I need to know, to know, to know
