Bound For Tennessee

(album: The Infamous Stringdusters - 2008)

I tried to tell you but I couldn't find a word
Maybe, I did and you misunder stood

I guess, I thought it better for never we should be
I waited too long now, I'm bound for Tennes see

There's no use wondering
Things are never what they seem
No sense in turning round
Looking back won't change a thing

That ship is sailing
It's gone out on the sea
I waited too long
Now I'm bound for Tennessee

And when I am gone
Even long gone better, yeah
I won't forget you
Hear your voice in my head

I missed my chance to tell you
How much you meant to me
I waited too long
Now I'm bound for Tennessee

Promised not to call you
And I won't write you anymore
I lived that good life
Isn't that what livin's for?

It's not the going
It's the staying that worries me
Cause I waited too long
Now, I'm bound for Tennessee

Yes, we waited too long
