Tennessee

about

I wrote this song while driving through Tennessee in May of 2009 - I was overwhelmed with the beauty of the state and couldn't help but think about the path that I have chosen in life - and how I am thankful it has led me to such wonderful places!

lyrics

I drove through Tennessee today
Passing life in my own way
I thought for long of words to say
'Bout the mountains and the water

I drive past signs, they point me on
Halfway down the road, I'm gone
I cannot see where I belong
But I'm counting all the days


And up the hills I climb
Towards the clouds and bright blue skies
And I cannot seem to describe
Tennessee
And the road I'm on

I'm driving past a green grass field
And all at once I cannot yield
The way the light of sun reveals
All the colors in the day

And oh this road I'm driving down
Reminds me of my own home town
And if they all could see me now
How I'm making my own way

And up the hills I climb
Towards the clouds and bright blue skies
And I cannot seem to describe
Tennessee
And the road I'm on

Yeah you have your words
About things that I do
But I will not give up I'll follow through
Yes I'll follow through

I've seen this sun, yeah,
I've seen this sun before
I've seen this open
I've seen this open door
I've seen the way it makes me see so much more

I've seen this sun, yeah
I've seen this sun before
I've seen this open
I've seen this open door

And up the hills I climb
Towards the clouds and bright blue skies
And I cannot seem to describe
Tennessee
And the road I'm on
