Somethin' 'bout the fall can make a man go mad Fallen leaves mean broken dreams so sad Take me away to a place where I can hide Amongst people with broken hearts like mine New York City, Chicago It don't matter where I go My mind says yes My heart says no But I'm goin' up north Gonna bury my blues in the snow I'm goin' up north, gonna pack my things and go But Tennessee, I'll miss you when I'm gone You're fallin' leaves, they haunt my dreams 'til dark 'Cause one day I'll fall down Gentle, rustlin' sound I'll fall down and won't get back up New York City, Chicago It don't matter where I go My mind says yes My heart says no But I'm goin' up north Gonna bury my blues in the snow I'm goin' up north, gonna pack my things and go But New York ain't the place I thought it'd be Because I belong to the hills of Tennessee 'Cause as that snow falls down The sun is comin' 'round It's comin' back to melt it all away Now we're like the leaves Fallin' from that tree 'Cause we'll fall down And won't get back up
