I left the west coast, watched the palm trees
wave goodbye, it was a hard drive,
i had to say goodbye to you.
i stopped for some coca-cola and some corn nuts too.
i thought about turning back, i already missed you.

chorus:
if you need me, burn it up, bend the rules, leave right away
if you need me, take a four-lane headed my way
take a bus, take a plane, take a car, take a train,
take a bike, hitch a ride, you decide.
if you need me you know where i'll be, yeah
in tennessee
Going through my boxes, found a photograph
where you're sitting on a mule in mexico, picture perfect point of view
and then a post card dropped from the book you gave me
on my birthday, and it hit me baby
Chorus:
if you need me, burn it up, bend the rules, leave right away
if you need me, take a four-lane, headed my waytake a bus, take a plane, take a car, take a train
take a bike, hitch a ride, you decide
if you need me, leave la, we'll take it day by day,
all alone, here i am, by the phone, understand
it's not too late, what are you waiting for
if you need me, you know where i'll be, yeah
in tennessee
It's a sunday morning, i awake, it's just another lonely day
i lie in bed and wonder how long is this gonna takethen i think to myself, will i ever get a break
or did i make a big mistake?
Well, i'll light the fire, i'll draw the bubble bath, hey, you do the math
it's just me, and i'm without you, what else could i do?
Repeat first chorus
