She asked me where I was from
+
I said "Somewhere you never been to"
+
Little town outside of Knoxville
+
Hidden by some dogwood trees
+
She tried talkin' with my accent
+
We held hands and waded into
+
That blue water
+
She left her flip-flops by my Red Wings on the beach
+
Yeah, but now I'm dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado
+
Like a heart-broke Desperado, headed right back to my roots
+
Somethin' bout the way she kissed me tells me she'd love Eastern Tennessee
+
Yeah, but all I brought back with me was some sand in my boots
+
I said "Let's go shoot tequila"
+
So we walked back to that beach bar
+
She said "Don't cowboy's drink whiskey?" huh
+
So we drank bottom shelf
+
She said "Damn, that sky looks perfect"
+
I said, "Girl you've never seen stars like the ones back home"
+
And she said "Maybe I should see them for myself"
+
Yeah but, now I'm dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado
+
Like a heart-broke Desperado, headed right back to my roots
+
Somethin' bout the way she kissed me tells me she'd love Eastern Tennessee
+
Yeah, but all I brought back with me was some sand in my boots
+
I said "Meet me in the mornin'"
+
And she told me I was crazy
+
Yeah, but I still thought that maybe she'd show up
+
Ah, but now I'm dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado
+
Like a heart-broke Desperado, headed right back to my roots
+
Somethin' bout the way she kissed me tells me she'd love Eastern Tennessee
+
Yeah, but all I brought back with me was some sand in my boots
+
Yeah, but all I brought back with me was some sand in my boots
