Case Oats – Tennessee Lyrics

We were gonna go to Tennessee but my mind finally caught up with me
Now he hides away in some tiny Ohio town I've never been to

We could've been on old porch swings, your sisters braiding their hair with me
But I'm back in the city, figuring out ways to drink more

And it hurts, but that's how it goes
What changed I never knew, what it was I saw in you
Mississippi flows in ways that you don't want her to

Kick off my boots and say I'm free but those old haunts don't forget about me
And I've never been one to roll down the highway

It was baseball caps and horsetails, Milwaukee Avenue and all that fails
I never knew how hard it was to keep you

And it hurts, but that's how it goes
What changed I never knew, what it was I saw in you
Mississippi flows in ways that you don't want her to
