I'm tearing up this invitation To join you at the shoreline Come and meet your new relations Take it easy, man On the white wine If you're sewing wings to your dress Hey you'd better come clean princess Old Tennessee jumping into the deep-end It's happening I break into your house and tear all the sheet music over my head I get so distracted half of the time I'm the only one who feels it Retired to a dirty grey road in the East Enjoy the celebration Retire to a land line Avoid the train station And get by on the old times The whole damned jamboree Comes swinging after me Old Tennessee jumping into the deep-end It's happening I break into your shed and tear down the sheet metal over my head I get so distracted half of the time I'm the only one who feels it Retired to a dirty grey road on the Coast Conversations kill Hey this carpenter makes wine I'll do yours if you'll do mine I crawled out of the basement You introduced me to Sebastian And the smile on his face meant I was frowning at the pastor I wanna hold the minister's hand Strangle the jangle pop band Tennessee jumping into the deep-end It's happening I tear through your tent and break all the tent poles over your head I just get so distracted half of the time I'm the only one who feels it Retired to a dirty grey road on the East Coast Conversations kill Hey this tennis pro likes wine I'll do yours if you'll do mine
