Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm tearing up this invitation To join you at the shoreline Come and meet your new relations Take it easy, man, on the white wine [Pre-Chorus] If you're sewing wings to your dress Hey, you'd better come clean, princess [Chorus] Old Tennessee jumping into the deep-end, it's happening I break into your house and tear all the sheet music over my head I get so distracted half of the time, I'm the only one who feels it Retired to a dirty grey road in the East [Verse 2] Enjoy the celebration Retire to a land line Avoid the train station And get by on the old times [Pre-Chorus] The whole damned jamboree Comes swinging after me [Chorus] Old Tennessee jumping into the deep-end, it's happening I break into your shed and tear down the sheet metal over my head I get so distracted half of the time, I'm the only one who feels it Retired to a dirty grey road on the Coast [Refrain] Conversations kill Hey this carpenter makes wine I'll do yours if you'll do mine [Verse 3] I crawled out of the basement You introduced me to Sebastian And the smile on his face meant I was frowning at the pastor [Pre-Chorus] I wanna hold the minister's hand Strangle the jangle pop band [Chorus] Tennessee jumping into the deep-end, it's happening I tear through your tent and break all the tent poles over your head I just get so distracted half of the time, I'm the only one who feels it Retired to a dirty grey road on the East Coast [Refrain] Conversations kill Hey, this tennis pro likes wine I'll do yours if you'll do mine
