She asked me where I's from
I said somewhere you never
been to
Little town outside of Knoxville
Hidden 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 I'm
dodgin' potholes
in my sunburnt Silverado
Like a heartbroke Desperado
headin' right back to my roots
Somethin' 'bout the way
she kissed mе
Tells me she'd lovе
Eastern Tennessee
Yeah but all I brought back
with me was some sand
in my boots
I said let's go shoot tequila
So we walked back to that
beach bar
She said don't cowboys
drink whiskey
So we drank bottom shelf
She said **** that sky
looks perfect
I said girl you've never
seen stars
Like the ones back home
And she said
Maybe I should see 'em
for myself
Yeah but now I'm
dodgin' potholes
in my sunburnt Silverado
Like a heartbroke Desperado
headin' right back to my roots
Somethin' 'bout the way
she kissed mе
Tells me she'd lovе
Eastern Tennessee
Yeah but all I brought back
with me was some sand
in my boots
I said meet me in the mornin'
And she told me I was crazy
Yeah but I still thought that
maybe she'd show up
Oh but now I'm
dodgin' potholes
in my sunburnt Silverado
Like a heartbroke Desperado
headin' right back to my roots
Somethin' 'bout the way
she kissed mе
Tells me she'd lovе
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
