Earle, Steve - Tennessee Blues Lyrics






Sunset in my mirror, pedal on the floor
Bound for New York City and I won't be back no more
Won't be back no more, boys won't see me around
Goodbye guitar town

Ghosts out on the highway, voices on the wind
Tellin' me that we may never pass this way again
Voices on the highway angels beckonin'
Like a long lost friend

Fare thee well I'm bound to roam
This ain't never been my home

Stranger in my mirror, lines around my eyes
String around my finger but I don't remember why
Don't remember why, boys don't remember how
Goodbye guitar town

Fare thee well I'm bound to roam
This ain't never been my home

Blue dog on my floorboard, redhead by my side
Cross the mighty Hudson river to the New York City side
Redhead by my side, boys sweetest thing I've found
Goodbye guitar town

    Great song an goodbye guitar town. Nashville isn't Nashville anymore.

    D.... B....

    New York's not New York anymore either. But Steve helps.

    "New York's a good town,
    But it's not for mine.
    Pretty women in Avalon
    Want me there all the time."

  3. M.... ....

    He was in love and you can hear it.  Listen to *Sparkle and Shine* from the same album.

    @lowbridgehit Im so sorry to hear that. Its great that you can use this song to connect with your father.
    Steve Earle is a master!

    @LixiPixi1 obviously this song is about Steve Earles move to New York & general dislike of the Nashville establishment & starting a new life with his newest wife. but personally i connect with this song as my dad died on the highway 5 yrs ago...:"ghosts out on the highway, angels beckoning, like a long lost friend" Music is amazing in the fact a song can have many different meanings & Steve Earle is a master at this.

  9. N.... L....

    @lowbridgehit Amazing lyrics eh?

  10. R.... B....

  11. S.... ....

    @MrKeithmadsen How can you say this? The most important thing is that someone likes it.

    "stanger in my mirror, lines around my eyes, string around my finger but I dont remember why, dont remember how. Goodbye Guitar town."

    chills for sure, makes me think of how hard it is to leave a place knowing you'll never be back again. It can be hard to move on with your life, even when your going on to something better.
