morning in the summer time
the bluest skies and the greenest trees around
two lane highways
and all directions point my way
what on earth made me want to leave
the beautiful hills of tennessee
i found a friend a guitar man
another soul who understands what it is my music means
lord give us one more chance to get back in
oh tennessee and my guitar playing friend
things might have gotten a little rough
and maybe i didn't try hard enough
but i won't make the same mistake again
oh tennessee and my guitar playing friend
my dearest friend in the world
there are words inside your songs i've heard
and i seem to get lost on the track
but its your words that always pull me back
now how could we just up and walk away
i know you really wanted us to stay
please believe i know you tried
but i guess i again was lost inside
lord give us one more chance to get back in
oh tennessee and my guitar playing friend
things might have gotten a little rough
and maybe i didn't try hard enough
but i won't make the same mistake again
oh tennessee and my guitar playing friend
there's a whole new life around us going on
and all that we have done since we've been gone
but still inside my heart there lies
an empty place that always cries
out for something we both know we had
to my friend in tennessee we will be back
oh tennessee and my guitar playing friend
i won't make the same mistake again
morning in the summertime
the bluest skies and the greenest trees around
