Verse 1

Where the White oak shakes in the wind of fall

And all our Grandparents lived off the land

The only way to talk was hanging on the wall

And weekend stays was often the plan

Pre-Chorus

The color on the ridge turns gold then brown

Where the warmth of the sun never reaches the ground

Harder now to drive these old dirt roads

Where do I end, only God knows

Chorus

When I look back through time

I can see that Jesus holds all that is mine

Yes East Tennessee runs through my blood and soul

I know I will never find my way back home to yesterday

But I also know that it will all… be A-OK

Verse 2

The Creek bed runs cold and low these days

With a sunken front porch that sags on the hill

Born back when the timber was much more thick

And where I’d sit and watch the old water wheel

Pre-Chorus

Everyone wants to move toward the coast

And leave behind their Sunday morning ghost

I pray for His mercy through their day

And know they’ll never find a better way

Chorus

But when I look back through time

And know Jesus still holds all that’s mine

Yes East Tennessee runs through the blood of my spine

I’ll never find my way back home to yesterday

And I know that’s all OK

Bridge

Yes sir

No sir

Thank you kindly

Hold the door and watch your mouth

THATS what we’re all taught, down in the South

Chorus

Just staring at that mountain line

Seeing it all glow like Jesus shine

East Tennessee runs the blood of my spine

I will never find my way back home to yesterday

But in the end, we find… well that’s all OK

Post-Chorus

That’s my home

yes THATS my home

In my mind…. Held in time…..

Give me some Jesus shine
