lyrics

In the dry heat of summer the wild hawk screams
And if you listen close you start to hear what he means
After months and months of snow and ice
The bright orange sun feels kinda nice
It feels nice, feels nice, it feels nice
It feels nice, feels nice, I guess it feels alright
And there’s a feeling in my stomach, it’s churning me like butter
When I look at you my beating heart can’t help but to flutter
I’ve been waiting such a long long time
For a feeling like this one to come on down the line
So come on, and come on, and come on down the line
So come on, and come on, and come on down the line
And we just past mile nine
Through the Jackson County Line
On the long long road through Tennessee
It was storming all night long but now the rain has stopped
And the way you make me feel it’s like my lungs are gonna pop
When I take your hand I’m immediately aware
Of the incredibly impossible lack of air
And my breath, my breath, you take my breath away
And my breath, my breath, you take my breath away
And if you think that’s impressive well you ain’t seen nothing yet
I know your body better than I know the alphabet
I’ve got a road map scaled at ¾ size
But somehow I can still manage to get lost in your eyes
I get la-la-la-la-la-la lost, lost in your eyes
I get la-la-la-la-la lost, lost in your eyes
And we’ve only just begun
We’re long past mile one
Underneath the burning sun
Firing faster than a machine gun
On the long long road through Tennessee
On the long long road through Tennessee
