Tennessee Sun by The Kernal Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey, why you always talkin’ about the future
Like it’s a neighbor that you’ve known all your life?
Hey, I think I caught you gnawin' at your eraser
And I don’t think you’ll ever make things right
Hey, but maybe I’m wrong and I can eat my words
And you can hold it hard against me till that familiar burn
And you’ve been stickin’ my crows all over this town
But if you’d like to join me in the Here and the Now
[Chorus]
But I’m lettin’ go of everythin' that I don’t need on my way down
[Verse 2]
Well, way back in Maury City when we run that town
But Junior joined us in July
Didn’t they lump us in a census and didn’t they thump us in a fence
And didn’t somewhere along, you just wanna die?
Hey, well love is like the squeezin’ of a grape and it’s sweet
Then you’re drunk, then it turns you sour
[Chorus]
So, I'm lettin’ go of everythin' that I don’t need on my way down
Lettin’ go of everythin' that I don’t need on my way down
[Verse 3]
Hey, well that Tennessee sun won’t be the only one
Shinin' bright up in the hills and the clouds
When them eighteen wheels, they haulin’ all your hard feelings
Back into your step-mama’s house
When I get my backbone back, my motorcycle side-sack
I’ll make my rearview mirrors frown
[Chorus]
Lettin’ go of everythin' that I don’t need on my way down
[Bridge]
Well, I know time can be a healer
But sometimes you just gonna wanna feel that girl
Yeah, but the hand of the dealer decides how you're gonna play the next hand
[Verse 4]
Well, I’m goin down, I know it, but I really wanna show it
So bring that other bourbon on
Don’t be startled if I throw it, start a fight with my ghosts
And sing some Waylon record till the dawn!
Well, I’m a second-generation rambler, baby
You had to knock my two feet off the ground
[Outro]
Lettin’ go of everythin' that I don’t need on my way down
Lettin’ go of everythin' that I don’t need on my way down
Lettin’ go of everythin' that I don’t need on
(My way down)
Hey, why you always talkin’ about the future
Like it’s a neighbor that you’ve known all your life?
Hey, I think I caught you gnawin' at your eraser
And I don’t think you’ll ever make things right
Hey, but maybe I’m wrong and I can eat my words
And you can hold it hard against me till that familiar burn
And you’ve been stickin’ my crows all over this town
But if you’d like to join me in the Here and the Now
[Chorus]
But I’m lettin’ go of everythin' that I don’t need on my way down
[Verse 2]
Well, way back in Maury City when we run that town

Didn’t they lump us in a census and didn’t they thump us in a fence
And didn’t somewhere along, you just wanna die?
Hey, well love is like the squeezin’ of a grape and it’s sweet
Then you’re drunk, then it turns you sour
[Chorus]
So, I'm lettin’ go of everythin' that I don’t need on my way down
Lettin’ go of everythin' that I don’t need on my way down
[Verse 3]
Hey, well that Tennessee sun won’t be the only one

Lettin’ go of everythin' that I don’t need on my way down
Lettin’ go of everythin' that I don’t need on
(My way down)
