lyrics

Tennessee Sky

Well the concert was over
On the dirt road in Muffresboro
Couldn't wait to hear her sweet voice
Sing 'Good Night Louise, Goodnight'
Well us friends jammed into the wee hours
We talked about the blues
And this land we call "ours"
And we said, "someday soon we'll fly on"
We said, "someday, someday soon
We would fly, fly on"

Jessi if you can hear me
We need to make that trip
The Mississippi Delta
We'll start in Mephis
Well I can almost hear the juke joint now
Oh, that National guitar
And the sound of your sweet voice
Like that night under the stars

It's plain to see
I've got you on my mind
though we had so little time
That girl set my heart on fire

When Jessi sang
Oh the words she testified
A love for the blues
My guitar rang
On a hot summer night
What I wouldn't give for that night
We played for the fire flies
Lookin' in her eyes
Under a Tennessee sky

Rolling with the sounds
Man that Aretha she can sing
By the looks of that dark cloud
I believe it's gonna rain
95 degrees southern style
mother nature pour it on
Cause we're headed for our fathers
W.C. , Muddy Waters

chorus

So turn the page and write on
Right or wrong
Story tells the day
I'm gone… movin on
