Gary P. Nunn - Tennessee Road lyrics



Well I was born in the poor house
I played the guitar at 10 years old
I used to sing for my momma on the front porch then
But I was headed for the Tennessee road
I worked hard and I paid my dues
When my dear momma died, Lord I cried and I cried
That's when I started singing these blues

These wheels, they've got me running
Running for the record, running for the money
Staring in the picture shows
These wheels, they've got me running
Marking my time in the pages of history
And rocking down the Tennessee road

Well those screaming teens like my tight blue jeans
They like to get down in the dirty below
They like blue suede shoes they like my GI Blues
They like the way I move my hips real slow
Did my time in the army, though they tried to retire me
They couldn't put out my fire, oh no
The 50's were swinging and I was the king
Revolution was burning my soul

These wheels, they've got me running
Running for the women, running for the money
Staring in the picture shows
These wheels, they've got me running
Marking my time in the pages of history
And rocking down the Tennessee road

Well come on over here honey help me spend my money
Revolution's gone way beyond me
You look like a lady who once had a baby
My daughter named Lisa Marie
Oh my body's hungry but I just never feel satisfied
I can't keep up with the times I'm always looking behind
Gotta gnawing feeling inside

These wheels, they've got me running
Running though this mansion, running through [the Sierra?]
Staring in the late late shows
These wheels, they've got me running
Running for my momma to come out of the darkness
And take me off this Tennessee road
Running for my momma to come out of the darkness
And take me off this Tennessee road
