Too Tennessee by Chris Lane Band Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well she’s city nights and broadway marquis signs
And I’m just one red light down past the old cafe
Her world spins fast concrete steel in glass
And mine moves more like molasses on a winters day
So how could we love so good and live so differently
[Chorus]
She likes the view from the penthouse suite
She likes the sound of those city streets
At two am when I’ve got satin pillows pulled over my head
And I like taking the long way home
Getting lost down dusty backwood roads
But I can’t blame her for not caring where they might lead
Maybe she’s too New York
And maybe I’m too Tennessee
[Verse 2]
She makes me laugh, a martini in her hand
As she’s trying to imitate my southern draw
Lookin’ to cute in my old ball cap
But that woman is no cowgirl at all
Sometimes it makes me wonder what she see’s in me
Yes it does
[Chorus]
She likes the view from the penthouse suite
She likes the sound of those city streets
At two am when I’ve got satin pillows pulled over my head
And I like taking the long way home
Getting lost down dusty backwood roads
But I can’t blame her for not caring where they might lead
Maybe she’s too New York
And maybe I’m too Tennessee
[Bridge]
Maybe I should question why
And just catch a red-eye flight
I guess we’ll have to wait and see baby
[Chorus]
She likes the view from the penthouse suite
She likes the sound of those city streets
At two am when I’ve got satin pillows pulled over my head
I like taking the long way home
Getting lost down dusty backwood roads
But I can’t blame her for not caring where they might lead
Maybe she’s too New York
And maybe I’m too Tennessee
I guess we’ll have to wait and see baby
Well she’s city nights and broadway marquis signs
And I’m just one red light down past the old cafe
Her world spins fast concrete steel in glass
And mine moves more like molasses on a winters day
So how could we love so good and live so differently
[Chorus]
She likes the view from the penthouse suite
She likes the sound of those city streets
At two am when I’ve got satin pillows pulled over my head
And I like taking the long way home
Getting lost down dusty backwood roads
But I can’t blame her for not caring where they might lead
Maybe she’s too New York
And maybe I’m too Tennessee
[Verse 2]
She makes me laugh, a martini in her hand
As she’s trying to imitate my southern draw
Lookin’ to cute in my old ball cap
But that woman is no cowgirl at all
Sometimes it makes me wonder what she see’s in me
Yes it does
[Chorus]
She likes the view from the penthouse suite
She likes the sound of those city streets
At two am when I’ve got satin pillows pulled over my head
And I like taking the long way home
Getting lost down dusty backwood roads
But I can’t blame her for not caring where they might lead
Maybe she’s too New York
And maybe I’m too Tennessee
[Bridge]
Maybe I should question why
And just catch a red-eye flight
I guess we’ll have to wait and see baby
[Chorus]
She likes the view from the penthouse suite
She likes the sound of those city streets
At two am when I’ve got satin pillows pulled over my head
I like taking the long way home
Getting lost down dusty backwood roads
But I can’t blame her for not caring where they might lead
Maybe she’s too New York
And maybe I’m too Tennessee
I guess we’ll have to wait and see baby
