Big town, ya bum around Down to a dime Try to keep yourself From getting lost Slow poke, goin' broke 'Bout out a' time Band's all speedin' up And getting' tossed Somewhere that I'd Be better off... Like the cool winds a' blowin' I'll get to where I'm goin' That sun is still plenty high The road goes on for days Winding all which-a-ways Wash all the tears From my eyes Tennessee rain Just wanna' settle in Find a little shade Far on out where I can Breath the air Might be the rollin' hills Where I come to land Live out all my days Without a care We'll get a couple Rockin' chairs Like the cool winds a' blowin' I'll get to where I'm goin' That sun is still plenty high The road goes on for days Winding all which-a-ways Wash all the tears from my eyes Tennessee rain Tennessee rain Long as I got as your hand I'm stronger than a mule I'll take whatever's bound to come my way Stay by me and I won't wander like a fool Or vanish on the trail without a trace You are my compass, aren't ya babe Like the cool winds a' blowin' I'll get to where I'm goin' That sun is still plenty high The road goes on for days Winding all which-a-ways Wash all the tears from my eyes Tennessee rain Wash all the tears from my eyes Tennessee rain
