Joe Ely - Tennessee Is Not the State I'm In lyrics

You might call it sad confusion You might even call it off But once you called me more than just your friend Now there's more to what I'm thinkin' Than the Mississippi Line And Tennessee's not the state I'm in You call me up at midnight To explain your whereabouts I should've seen your love was coming to an end And as you call from longer distances I began to have my doubts Still Tennessee's not the state I'm in No, Tennessee's not the state I'm in Satisfied is not the way I've been I can feel my world turning As I watch the bottle spin Still Tennessee's not the state I'm in Well, I could stand out on that highway Trying to make that Nashville scene But I think I've stretched my luck a little thin So I walk the streets of Memphis But I'll have you understand That Tennessee's not the state I'm in No, Tennessee's not the state I'm in And down to earth is not the place I've been I can feel my world turning As I watch the bottle spin Still Tennessee's not the state I'm in No, Tennessee's not the state I'm in
