Verse 1
Dust on the dash and a fiddle on the radio
Heading west on 40 with nowhere left to go
Left a girl in Knoxville with a ring I never gave
And a whole life I was too damn scared to save
Pre-Chorus
Sun's bleeding out across the plains
Ain't no going back on what I chose to change
Chorus
Tennessee in my rearview
Texas on my mind
Two states tugging at a restless heart
Got one foot on the pedal
One hand on the line
Leaving everything I know behind
Tennessee in my rearview
Texas on my mind
Verse 2
Crazy how the miles just melt a man's resolve
Every mile marker reading like a chapter I dissolved
Got a cousin in Amarillo got a pickup I can drive
Said the prairies stretch forever till you learn to feel alive
Pre-Chorus
Mockingbird singing down the highway line
The wind don't ask no questions it just blows you on in time
Chorus
Tennessee in my rearview
Texas on my mind
Two states tugging at a restless heart
Got one foot on the pedal
One hand on the line
Leaving everything I know behind
Tennessee in my rearview
Texas on my mind
Bridge
Maybe I'm a coward
Maybe I'm just free
Same damn coin
Same damn me
Chorus
Tennessee in my rearview
Texas on my mind
Two states tugging at a restless heart
Got one foot on the pedal
One hand on the line
Leaving everything I know behind
Tennessee in my rearview
Texas on my mind
