She

asked

me

where

I was

from

I

said

"Some-

where

Lit-

tle

town

out-

side

of

Knox-

ville

Hid-

den

by

some

dog-

wood

trees

She

tried

tal-

kin'

with

my

ac-

cent

We

held

hands

and

wa-

ded

in-

to

That

blue

wa-

ter

She

left

her

flip-

flops

by

my

Red

Wings

on

the

beach

Yeah

but,

now

I'm

dod-

ging

po-

tholes

in

my

sun-

burnt

Sil-

ve-

ra-

do

Like

a

heart-

broke

Des-

pe-

ra-

do,

hea-

din'

right

back

to

my

roots

Some-

thin'

'bout

the

way

she

kissed

me

tells

me

she'd

love

Eas-

tern

Ten-

nes-

see

Yeah,

but

all

I

brought

back

with

me

was

some

sand

in

my

boots

I

said

"Let's

go

shoot

te-

qui-

la"

So

we

walked

back

to

that

beach

bar

She

said

"Don't

cow-

boys

drink

whis-

key?"

So

we

drank

bot-

tom

shelf

She

said

"Damn,

sky

looks

per-

fect"

I

said

"Girl,

ne-

ver

seen

stars

like

the

ones

back

home"

And

she

said

"Ma-

ybe

my-

self"

Yeah

Sil-

And

Yeah,

Oh,
