Tennessee by Kayleigh Goldsworthy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, there's a silence when you’re looking at me
And I wish I could go back to sleep
But in this moment you won't look beyond
The brown behind the black
Wide abyss on my mind and I'm turning back
Into the girl I always wanted me to be
I bathed in my sympathy, I’m begging to be clean
I'll send a postcard as I try to find my way
My ghost behind me, I know that I'll make it through and be okay
Be okay
[Chorus]
There's a light that's up ahead
And I'll be catching it the first thing in the morning
I'm on my way
Towards a southern town beneath the stars I'll wander every night
’Cause Tennessee, you’ve been the nicest place to me
[Verse 2]
Oh, there's a siren that is deafening
As I try to uncover where I’ve been
But everybody's second guessing
All the moves their pawns have made
And I laugh to myself at this mess I've made
I'm not the girl I always thought that I would be
And I stopped holding all my breath on silly things
But all the years I spent just trying to believe
That I’d make it out of here and on to something only in my dreams
In my dreams
[Chorus]
There's a light that's up ahead
And I'll be catching it the first thing in the morning
I'm on my way
Towards a southern town beneath the stars I'll wander every night
'Cause Tennessee, you've been the nicest place to me
[Bridge]
And I'm on my way
I'm on my way
[Verse 3]
I'm not the girl I always dreamed that I would be
But on my way to there I know I'll surely see
My own markers as I drive down 65
Take me to somewhere that had always made me feel alive
Oh, alive
[Chorus]
'Cause there's a light that's up ahead
And I'll be catching it the first thing in the morning
I'm on my way
Towards a southern town beneath the stars I'll wander every night
'Cause Tennessee, you've been the nicest thing to me
Well, there's a silence when you’re looking at me
And I wish I could go back to sleep
But in this moment you won't look beyond
The brown behind the black
Wide abyss on my mind and I'm turning back
Into the girl I always wanted me to be
I bathed in my sympathy, I’m begging to be clean
I'll send a postcard as I try to find my way
My ghost behind me, I know that I'll make it through and be okay
Be okay
[Chorus]
There's a light that's up ahead
And I'll be catching it the first thing in the morning
I'm on my way
Towards a southern town beneath the stars I'll wander every night
’Cause Tennessee, you’ve been the nicest place to me
[Verse 2]
Oh, there's a siren that is deafening
As I try to uncover where I’ve been
But everybody's second guessing
All the moves their pawns have made
And I laugh to myself at this mess I've made
I'm not the girl I always thought that I would be
And I stopped holding all my breath on silly things
But all the years I spent just trying to believe
That I’d make it out of here and on to something only in my dreams
In my dreams
[Chorus]
There's a light that's up ahead
And I'll be catching it the first thing in the morning
I'm on my way
Towards a southern town beneath the stars I'll wander every night
'Cause Tennessee, you've been the nicest place to me
[Bridge]
And I'm on my way
I'm on my way
[Verse 3]
I'm not the girl I always dreamed that I would be
But on my way to there I know I'll surely see
My own markers as I drive down 65
Take me to somewhere that had always made me feel alive
Oh, alive
[Chorus]
'Cause there's a light that's up ahead
And I'll be catching it the first thing in the morning
I'm on my way
Towards a southern town beneath the stars I'll wander every night
'Cause Tennessee, you've been the nicest thing to me
