I took a drink in Murfreesbro
Now the drink has taken me
I've been running hard since Tupelo
Drinking Jack and cold coffee
A dark eyed woman out of Knoxville
Stopped and gave me a ride
I should have stayed with her forever
But that part of me has died
I've fallen fast and far since Gatlinburg
The last town that I recall
Now I've got lizards on my ceiling
And long lost dreamers down the hall
The only thing that keeps me going
Down the parkways and the pikes
Is the memory of never knowing
What a good life looks like
The whiskey is seeping through my paper cup
Daylight is creeping and I know my time is up
My mother would be weeping if she could only see
The state that I've come to in this state of Tennessee
When you sing for me baby
Please keep it high and clear
The voice of an angel
To take me from here
From the bright lights of Memphis
Through the pine scented trees
I carried your face with me
All across Tennessee
The whiskey is seeping through my paper cup
Daylight is creeping and I know my time is up
My mother would be weeping if she could only see
The state that I've come to in this state of Tennessee
