She asked me where I was from
I said, Somewhere you never been to
Little town outside of Knoxville
Headin by some dogwood trees
She tried talkin with my accent
We held hands and waded into
That blue water
She left her flip-flops by my Red Wings on the beach
Yeah but, now Im dodging potholes
In my sunburnt Silverado
Like a heart-broke Desperado
Headin right back to my roots
Somethin bout the way she kissed me
Tells me she loves Eastern Tennessee
Yeah, but all I brought back with me
Was some sand in my boots
I said, Lets go shoot tequila
So we walked back to that beach bar
She said, Dont cowboys drink whiskey?
So we drank bottom shelf
She said, Damn, that sky looks perfect
I said, Girl, youve never seen stars like the ones back home
And she said, Maybe I should see them for myself
Yeah, but now Im dodgin potholes
In my sunburnt Silverado
Like a heart-broke Desperado
Headin right back to my roots
Somethin bout the way she kissed me
Tells me she loves Eastern Tennessee
Yeah, but all I brought back with me
Was some sand in my boots
I said, Meet me in the morning
And she told me I was crazy
Yeah, but I still thought that maybe shed show up
Oh, but now Im dodgin potholes
In my sunburnt Silverado
Like a heart-broke Desperado
Headin right back to my roots
Somethin bout the way she kissed me
Tells me she loves Eastern Tennessee
Yeah, but all I brought back with me
Was some sand in my boots
Yeah, but all I brought back with me
Was some sand in my boots
