Don't Let The Song Lie | Tennessee

from A Song For Every State by Travis Ehrenstrom

/

lyrics

I thumbed my way to Nashville
All the way through Tennessee
Just my luck, some quarters, a few bucks
My guitar and my honeybee

We all want to be famous boys
Singing on your TV
I taste no grit there’s no meat on the bone
It ain’t got soul, it’s all wrong

Don’t let it lie, the song
Don’t let it lie, the song
Don’t let it lie, the song
Don’t let it lie, the song

I took my feet to Broadway,
Dropped in to every joint
Every tune I’d heard before
An old old from another time
In a world going crazy, you think have something to say
I don’t want hear another parroted verse
I just want original thought

Don’t let it lie, the song
Don’t let it lie, the song
Don’t let it lie, the song
Don’t let it lie, the song

Looking back on my time on the run
One day when I get the chance
I hope it wasn’t a fever dream
Or just another empty glass
I wanted it to mean something
Squeeze the life out of every drop
Maybe when I’m older myself
My work will make sense of it all
