She asked me where I was from
I said "somewhere you never been to"
Little town outside of Knoxville
Heading by some dogwood trees
She tried talking with my accent
We held hands and waded into

That blue water

She left her flip-flops by my Red Wings on the beach



But, now I'm dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado

Like a heart-broke Desperado, heading right back to my roots

Something 'bout the way she kissed me tеlls me she loves Eastеrn 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 "damn, that sky looks perfect"

I said "girl, you've never seen stars like the ones back home"

And she said "maybe I should, see them for myself"



Yeah, but now I'm dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado

Like a heart-broke Desperado, heading right back to my roots

Something 'bout the way she kissed me tells me she loves Eastern Tennessee

Yeah, but all I brought back with me was some sand in my boots



I said meet me in the morning

And she told me I was crazy

Yeah, but I still thought that maybe she'd show up



Oh, but now I'm dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado

Like a heart-broke Desperado, heading right back to my roots

Something 'bout the way she kissed me tells me she loves 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
