I took the 40 west thought I could outrun the past
But the map don‘t lie and the miles don’t last
Every exit sign was a name I used to know
Every truck stop bathroom reminded me of home
I called you from a payphone in Memphis at 3 AM
You said “where are you”
I said “I don‘t know where I’ve been”
I lost Tennessee the day I left
Not on a map not on a bet
I lost the way the light fell on your chest
The way the porch would creak when we‘d undress
I lost Tennessee in a suitcase and a greyhound fare
And I can’t go back ’cause it‘s not there
It’s not there
The Smokies don‘t look the same in a rearview mirror
Everything’s smaller when you‘re getting clearer
I used to know every crack in that downtown street
Now I’m a stranger with a Tennessee-shaped heartbeat
You said “come home”
But home‘s a word I used to know
Like Hank on the radio like 20 years ago
I lost Tennessee the day I left
Not on a map not on a bet
I lost the way the light fell on your chest
The way the porch would creak when we’d undress
I lost Tennessee in a suitcase and a greyhound fare
And I can‘t go back ’cause it‘s not there
It’s not there
I lost Tennessee the day I left
Not on a map not on a bet
I lost the way you said my name in your sleep
and I can’t go back
cause I’m not the same
I‘m not the same
