Standing on a street somewhere I don’t wanna be In a town that’s made of stone Some bad directions must have me here by mistake ‘Cause this sure ain’t what I call home
Let me close my eyes for a second See if I can get out of here, and
Let my hair hang down, and I can feel the golden sun And watch a pickup truck drive by And I wanna tell the world how good it is to be right here But I don’t, I just sit under this tree And I’m in Tennessee
Standing on a road leading to a barn With a cat named Eloise Later on, we’ll all go fishing in the pond But all we’ll catch is just a summer breeze
Let me close my eyes for a second See if I can stay right here, and
Let my hair hang down, and I can feel the golden sun And watch a pickup truck drive by And I wanna tell the world how good it is to be right here But I don’t, I just sit under this tree And I’m in Tennessee
When the pond is gone and Eloise floats away I find myself staring at the same old day I need to go back, back to where I feel so free Well, it looks like I’m going back to Tennessee
I let my hair hang down, and I can feel the golden sun And watch a pickup truck drive by And I wanna tell the world how good it is to be right here But I don’t, I just sit under this tree Just me and Eloise And I’m in Tennessee
