I left the west coast, watched the palm trees Wave goodbye, it was a hard drive, I had to say goodbye to you. I stopped for some Coca-Cola and some Corn Nuts too. I thought about turning back, I already missed you. Chorus: If you need me, burn it up, bend the rules, leave right away If you need me, take a four-lane headed my way Take a bus, take a plane, take a car, take a train, Take a bike, hitch a ride, you decide. If you need me you know where I'll be, yeah In Tennessee Going through my boxes, found a photograph Where you're sitting on a mule in Mexico, picture perfect point of view And then a post card dropped from the book you gave me On my birthday, and it hit me baby Chorus: If you need me, burn it up, bend the rules, leave right away If you need me, take a four-lane, headed my wayTake a bus, take a plane, take a car, take a train Take a bike, hitch a ride, you decide If you need me, leave LA, we'll take it day by day, All alone, here I am, by the phone, understand It's not too late, what are you waiting for If you need me, you know where I'll be, yeah In Tennessee It's a Sunday morning, I awake, it's just another lonely day I lie in bed and wonder how long is this gonna takeThen I think to myself, will I ever get a break Or did I make a big mistake? Well, I'll light the fire, I'll draw the bubble bath, hey, you do the math It's just me, and I'm without you, what else could I do? Repeat First Chorus
