I left the west coast watched the palm trees, waive goodbye It was a hard drive had to say goodbye to you I stopped for some c**a-cola and some corn nuts too I thought about turning back, I already missed you If you need me, burn it up Bend the rules leave right away If you need me take a four lane Headed my way Take a bus, take a plane Take a car, take a train Take a bike, hitch a ride, you decide If you need me you know where I'll be In Tennessee Going through my boxes found a photograph Where you're sittin' on a mule in Mexico Picture perfect point view And when a postcard dropped from the book You gave me on my birthday it hit me baby If you need me, burn it up Bend the rules leave right away If you need me take a four lane Headed my way Take a bus, take a plane Take a car, take a train Take a bike, hitch a ride, you decide If you need me you know where I'll be In Tennessee If you need me leave L.A We'll take it day by day All alone, here I am By the phone, understand It's not too late What are you waiting for If you need me, you know where I'll be In Tennessee It's a Sunday morning, lying awake It's just another lonely day I lie in bed and wonder How long it's gonna take Then I think to myself Will I ever get a break Did I make a big mistake Well I'll light a fire I'll draw the bubble bath Hey you do the math It's just me and I'm without you What else could I do.......... If you need me, burn it up Bend the rules leave right away If you need me take a four lane Headed my way Take a bus, take a plane Take a car, take a train Take a bike, hitch a ride, you decide If you need me you know where I'll be In Tennessee
