Standing on a street somewhere I don't wanna be

In a town that's made of stone

Some bad directions must have me here by mistake

'Cause this sure ain't what I call home

Let me close my eyes for a second

See if I can get out of here, and

Let my hair hang down, and I can feel the golden sun

And watch a pickup truck drive by

And I wanna tell the world how good it is to be right here

But I don't, I just sit under this tree

And I'm in Tennessee

Standing on a road leading to a barn

With a cat named Eloise

Later on, we'll all go fishing in the pond

But all we'll catch is just a summer breeze

Let me close my eyes for a second

See if I can stay right here, and

Let my hair hang down, and I can feel the golden sun

And watch a pickup truck drive by

And I wanna tell the world how good it is to be right here

But I don't, I just sit under this tree

And I'm in Tennessee

When the pond is gone and Eloise floats away

I find myself staring at the same old day

I need to go back, back to where I feel so free

Well, it looks like I'm going back to Tennessee

I let my hair hang down, and I can feel the golden sun

And watch a pickup truck drive by

And I wanna tell the world how good it is to be right here

But I don't, I just sit under this tree

Just me and Eloise

And I'm in Tennessee
