Times We Had in Tennessee

I wish I had a window to the ocean

I'd open every time the skies are blue

Then on that canvas blank but faint horizon

I'd daydream all my time with you

I wish I had a house up in the mountains

That looks out on the Smokies' hazy green

Cus when I lose my blurred out faith to all this doubting

I think about the views we've seen

Maybe it's a sign the times are changing

The way you wear your hair the floor that creeks

The old familiar places torn down for renovations

But there's some good that always keeps

I know I won't forget the times we had in Tennessee

I wonder bout the writers of those movies

You watch and watch again while feeling blue

If the stories and the lines they put to music

Are comfort for their own loss too

Cus no one knows to hurt without still dreaming

And with love always comes a little sad

Like a picture frame that holds the moments fleeting

You need to reach for someone's hand

Maybe it's a sign the times are changing

The way you wear your hair the floor that creeks

The old familiar places torn down for renovations

But there's some good that always keeps

I know I won't forget the times we had in Tennessee

Now it's like forgetting where you left the car keys

And stranded in that empty house alone

While your friends are out and drowning in their parties

You wonder if you've ever been home

I wonder can you make this home

Cus maybe it's a sign the times are changing

The way you wear your hair the floor that creeks

The old familiar places torn down for renovations

But there's some good that always keeps

I know I won't forget the times we had in Tennessee
