Lyrics

TEARS FROM TENNESSEE

Words & Music by Darryl S. Brannen



V.1) NOW I'M USED TO ALL THESE TV DINNERS
I FILL THE TIME WITH THINGS LIKE MOWING THE LAWN
AND I CAN BE FOUND ANY FRIDAY NIGHT
AT THE LAUNDRY MAT MAKIN' MY COLORS BRIGHT
ANYTHING TO NOT REMIND ME THAT YOU'RE GONE


V.2) I'VE GOT TOO MANY PAST DUE BILLS ON THE KITCHEN TABLE,
AND THE PILE OF UNREAD PAPERS GETTING HIGH
I'VE GOT ALL THE TIME I NEED TO LOOK
AT THE PICTURES IN OUR WEDDING BOOK
EVERY PAGE I TURN YOUR MEMORY MAKES ME CRY...


C.) SO, I'M CRYIN' TEARS FROM TENNESSEE
FROM NOW ON THAT'S HOW IT'S GONNA BE
WHEN THOSE RAINDROPS FALL AROUND YOU GIRL
YOU'LL KNOW IT'S ONLY ME
'CAUSE WHEN IT RAINS IT POURS
WITH TEARS FROM TENNESSEE


V.3) IT'S A HARD THING FOR THIS MAN TO SAY, "I'M SORRY"
ONCE AGAIN THIS FOOLISH PRIDE HAS DONE ME IN
BUT, IF YOU COULD ONLY SEE ME NOW
THAT I'M ON MY KNEES AND WISHING HOW
I COULD HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS ONCE AGAIN

C.) REPEAT, TAG, END.
