Tennessee Tags

V1:

Sitting at the stoplight

When a truck stops on my right

And his Tennessee plate

Brought me right back to that tailgate

You and me in the evening breeze

Damn, we were living free

Pre:

Some things just don't work out

But the memories stay locked in place

Little triggers start the trace

Back to the beginning of the route

Chorus:

Even out in California

They hit without warning

Reminders of you and me

Every time I see, Tennessee tags

I'm brought right back

To Broadway and shows at the Opry

When we drank our way

Down honky-tonk highway

Though it's been some years

I still think of those beers

Every time I see Tennessee tags

V2:

Scrolling through my feed

Friend posted in Nashville Tennessee

Seeing those pics brought me right back

To writers playing their tracks

While we swayed to the beat

Sipping on whiskeys neat

Pre:

Some things just don't work out

But the memories stay locked in place

Little triggers start the trace

Back to the beginning of the route

Chorus:

Even out in California

They hit without warning

Reminders of you and me

Every time I see, Tennessee tags

I'm brought right back

To Broadway and shows at the Opry

When we drank our way

Down honky-tonk highway

Though it's been some years

I still think of those beers

Every time I see Tennessee tags

Bridge:

Wish I could let it go

Be happy on the coast

But there's reminders everywhere

Damn I swear

Everyone that I see

Is from Tennessee 

Pre:

Some things just don't work out

But the memories stay locked in place

Little triggers start the trace

Back to the beginning of the route

Chorus:

Even out in California

They hit without warning

Reminders of you and me

Every time I see, Tennessee tags

I'm brought right back

To Broadway and shows at the Opry

When we drank our way

Down honky-tonk highway

Though it's been some years

I still think of those beers

Every time I see Tennessee tags
