Back Road TN

(album: Blue In The Sky - 2022)

We got a God painted sunset view
In a barbed wire frame
It's like heaven on earth down here
And that ain't ever gonna change
Got some gas in the tank
Got a road that was made for a night like this
Just a dot in the dust
One you never heard of
But it's as good as it gets

They got mansions down in Georgia
They got beaches in Caroline
They got sunshine in California
And Colorado will get you high
But I got one arm wrapped around
The prettiest thing I've ever seen
Right here in this Detroit made Chevrolet
In back road Tennessee

A full moon on a night this clear
Lights her blue eyes up
Ain't the only kind of shine around here
We got a little in a cup
A little smile, takes a sip
I can taste it on her lips
When she's loving on me, yeah
She's my homegrown girl
Ain't nowhere in the world I'd rather be

They got mansions down in Georgia
They got beaches in Caroline
They got sunshine in California
And Colorado will get you high
But I got one arm wrapped around
The prettiest thing I've ever seen
Right here in this Detroit made Chevrolet
In back road Tennessee
(Yeah, yeah, uh-uh)

I could spend my whole life here
Long as she's right here
Slipping her hand in mine
Born and raised this way
I swear I'm gonna stay small town 'til the day I die

They got mansions down in Georgia
They got beaches in Caroline
They got sunshine in California
And Colorado will get you high
But I got one arm wrapped around
The prettiest thing I've ever seen
Right here in this Detroit made Chevrolet
In back road Tennessee
