Packing up to leave and everything's a lie Everything's on fire everything I own I cannot believe she left me here on wires all exposed And there lining up my soul Now the boxes by the door singing where you gonna go The piano in the drive signing don't leave me alone Elizabeth wants to see me less Jesus wants to see me more He says he's got somethings in store Say farewell and I'm gone Back to Tennessee Where they'll meet me with scorn But I know they'll meet me Say farewell and I will be on down the line Say farewell and I'm gone Back to Tennessee Written on the walls are all the memories And pieces now they fall And terrible my penmanship I know is gunna cause A couple here and there But baby there not lost I wrote them on our souls Now the boxes by the door singing where we gunna go The piano down the drive down 6th avenue it rolls Elizabeth wants to see me less She says I was a lost cause The time will never fix my flaws Say farewell and I'm gone Back to Tennessee Where they'll meet me with scorn But I know they'll meet me Say farewell and I will be on down the line Say farewell and I'm gone Back to Tennessee Farewell and I'm gone Back to Tennessee Where they'll meet me with scorn But I know they'll meet me Say farewell and I will be on down the line Say farewell and I will un-tell all those lies Say farewell and I will un-slip all these ties Say farewell and I'm gone Back to Tennessee
