{title:Goodbye to Tennessee}
After fifteen years of marriage, she left him in Tennessee
He found the rings on the rabbit ears of the Japanese T.V.
She swapped him in for a brand new man, and he felt like an old used car
On a riverbank, a child on a log that drifted out too far.
And it's hey ho, hi ho, goodbye to Tennessee
I'm on my way to Oregon where nobody knows me
I'm gonna buy a boat and sail it out upon the drifting sea
I'm gonna ride the swells like an old blue whale, and look for the rest of me
I'm gonna ride the swells like an old blue whale, and look for the rest of me.
Outside of Tucumcare, a car drove by his truck
Two kids had just got married; God bless 'em, and good luck
His mind went back some fifteen years to a little white country church
It was a buckboard scene from out of a dream, Jesus how it hurt
And it hurts when the one that you love goes down the road
And at first you will pray, "Oh Lord, this is too big a load"
But if you try, you will find there are so many other lives
As there are stars up in the sky.
And it's hey ho, hi ho, goodbye to Tennessee
I'm on my way to regon where nobody knows me
I'm gonna buy a boat and sail it out upon the drifting sea
I'm gonna ride the swells like an old blue whale, and look for the rest of me
I'm gonna ride the swells like an old blue whale, and look for the rest of me.
