I will see you in the morning When the moonlight leaves the trees But I will always feel the embers Of the flames in Tennessee
I was sleeping when they came knocking They said boy you better leave Said South Nashville is rocking And they can't get no relief
So I run and put my pants on And I run to get my car But the flames they was a rising And I didn't get to far
There was a black man on the corner He said boy just turn away I got a gun here in my pocket And I will take your life away
So I showed the man your picture And I said we had a son And I was just up here from Texas I wasn't hurting anyone
So I run out to the highway And I finally caught a ride With some white trash outta towner With his wife and kids inside
So I sit here on the roadside And I talk to your machine I can see the flames a rising Over Nashville Tennessee
Well, don't go out looking on your TV They gonna keep this all discreet They will never tell the secrets Of the flames in Tennessee
You know I hope she don't discover That this all was all just a lie But If I don't get home to see her Then my heart will surely die
I will see you in the morning When the moonlight leaves the trees But I will always feel the embers Of The flames in Tennessee The night they burned down Nashville TennesseeTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
