The 505 Music

Lyrics

We still roll the sidewalks up at nine
Finally got the 4-lane out to the county line
Lights still shine the brightest around here on Friday night

The City café’s still got the coldest beer
The county Fair still comes to town once a year
And, kids still sneak a kiss on the ferris wheel like we used to
Here, where you said we’d always be, Tennessee 38462

Where we still meet strangers like they’re old friends
Start and end each day with a prayer, Amen
Ask God for forgiveness and thank him for our blessings, too
Where Mama still leaves the porch lights on
Just in case her babies need to come back home
For an ear or a beer or just a good talkin’ to
Here you said, we’d always be, Tennessee 38462

Old folks still meet up with stories to tell
‘bout raising crops and kids and a little hell
Back in their day, before their stars burned out
Our kids still get loose when their folks ain’t around
Praying that the news don’t beat em back to town
Hoping it’s worth all the trouble they’re going to get into
Here where you said, we’d always be, Tennessee 38462

Where we still show up when our neighbors get down
We’ll help you get stuck and then we’ll pull you out
Always have your back no matter what you’re going through
Where Mama still leaves the porch lights on
Just in case her babies need to come back home
For an ear or a beer or just a good talkin’ to
Here you said, we’d always be, Tennessee 38462
