Tennessee you rained so hard I’d swear you didn’t know me
Now and then I catch your glance across the room
Behind me, overshadowed by a stronger, better man
I’m Midwest bound, my Blue Ridge days behind
Said it’s been a long day
And I know I’m gonna miss this someday
But the Mississippi’s full of wrath for a city boy on a river raft
Love let me be
February made the 5th of May a romance
Sorting through the mail and spare change in the pond
Lyndale sounds like something I’ll remember when I’m old
Those songs I hope you’ll sing when I am gone
Said it’s been a long day
It seems love’s a pretty girl on the subway
But she walks so fast on the overpass and she’s never going my way
Love let me be
Said it’s been a long day
It seems love’s a fleeting thought on the interstate
Like a crash in a dream stuck repeating a scene
it will surely drive you mad
Love let me be
