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, headin' 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
+
And she said, "Don't cowboys drink whiskey?"
+
So we drank bottom shelf
+
And she said, "Damn, that sky looks perfect"
+
And I said, "Girl, you've never seen stars like the ones back home"
+
And she said, "Maybe I should see 'em for myself"
+
Yeah, but now I'm dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado
+
Like a heart broke Desperado, headin' 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
+
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh woah
+
And 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
+
Oh, but now I'm dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado
+
Like a heart broke Desperado, headin' 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
