TENNESSEE SILENCE
CHORUS) Tennessee silence, that’s all that I can hear,
I call your name, and no one answers me,
You’re bound to find your fortune and I’m bound to lose my mind,
Tennessee silence is all you left behind.
VERSE 1) You told me when you left me there were sounds you had to make
and music that the world was gonna hear,
but the last time that I heard your voice was goodbye whispered low,
now Tennessee silence is the only sound I know.
REPEAT CHORUS
VERSE 2) I think you really loved me, but love was not enough
I held you but I couldn’t hold you down,
Now you're singing to somebody but nobody sings to me,
Tennessee silence is my only company.
REPEAT CHORUS
