Lyrics
Darling, you left me with no-one to hold by my side
In this big empty rock n’ roll club where our love died
Watching a cover band butcher “Sweet Jane” just because
We sat on the steps by the stage, you said “this ain’t enough,”
“I want to see mountains and streams and rivers and meadows,”
“I’m so sick of the asphalt, concrete and guitar-slinging bros,”
“I’m heading to Knoxville then down to southern Tennessee.”
She said with a laugh and a sigh, “I can’t take my baby with me.”
She said “I can’t take my baby with me,”
“Down to Tennessee.”
“I know you belong with your kind,”
“So I’ve gotta leave you behind,”
“And frankly, I’m sick of your games,”
“Your reckless and rowdy old ways,”
“It’s better that we were apart,”
“Because baby, you’re breaking my heart.”
She walked out so quickly it knocked me right off my feet
The bartender said to me, “Son, you’ve had too much to drink.”
I’ve been pissing my life away strumming this beat up guitar
My baby just crossed the state line
And I’m on the floor of this bar
