4 Chords & The Proof

(album: The Years Go Fast - 2023)

I sat down with my old guitar
Words and whiskey pulling straight from the heart
I heard it this morning on the ol' truck radio
I wonder if you heard it, yeah, wherever you're calling home

Tennessee ain't Tennessee without you, baby
I'm walking Broadway holes in these missin'-you boots
Bumming smokes from strangers, all the cover bands must hate me
'Cause they just keep on singing that song I wrote about you, yeah

I never thought I was famous, but now I know I am
'Cause they all sing about my last heartbreak dance
And four chords and the proof and a sweet melody
I hope the left coast was worth you leaving me

Tennessee ain't Tennessee without you, baby
I'm walking Broadway holes in these missin'-you boots
Bumming smokes from strangers, all the cover bands must hate me
'Cause they just keep on singing that song I wrote about you, yeah

I dialed those seven digits you know I know so well
I wish you'd pick up the phone just so I could tell you

Tennessee ain't Tennessee without you, baby
I'm walking Broadway holes in these missin'-you boots
Bumming smokes from strangers, all the cover bands must hate me
'Cause they just keep on singing that song I wrote about you (Yeah)
