Taking It All To Tennessee

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's not your going that's so tragic It's your leaving me here You left the cap off the happy And now it's spilling Now I've got this empty cup And you fill it up With a lot of Mason Dixon talk You hold that airline ticket like a gun And it's killing me [Pre-Chorus] Didn't you love the way the snow would cover All the barren trees in winter? Didn't you love strolling by the sea? Didn't you love the smell of spring And the honeysuckle, and the tulips, and the roses? Didn't you love me? [Chorus] Now you're taking it all to Tennessee Taking it all to Tennessee Taking it all to Tennessee What about me? [Verse 2] I haven't heard you mention my name And tomorrow in the same phrase Since this Smokey Mountain conversation started You've got this picture of your place And you flash it in my face Well, if you want me to for you I'll be excited [Pre-Chorus] I loved you And your reflection And your shadow I loved it all and I still do You can count on that forever and ever Like the western sky will always host The sun when the day is through It's a totally different view Now that you're gone [Chorus] Now you're taking it all to Tennessee Taking it all to Tennessee Taking it all to Tennessee What about me? [Pre-Chorus] Damn your poet's heart to hell And the same to your minstrel spirit It's the things I love about you most That roll your wheels Unless you're singing coming home Then I don't want to hear Another song about me Pack it up Pack it up Pack it [Chorus] Taking it all to Tennessee Taking it all to Tennessee (Oh yeah) Taking it all to Tennessee What about me? Taking it all to Tennessee Taking it all to Tennessee You're taking it all to Tennessee What about me? [Outro] Packing it up Taking it all to Tennessee What about me?
