She came in like a wild flame
Blue eyes, red lips, no shame
One touch and I lost my way
One night and I couldn't stay
I gave her all my midnight prayers
She gave me smoke, she disappeared
I tried to love her through the pain
But all I got was pouring rain
She pulled me in
Then let me go
Left me out here
On this broken road
I'm going back, back to Tennessee
Back to the nights that remember me
Back to the roads, back to the dreams
Back to the fire in the fields of green
She took my heart, but she won't take me
I'm going back, back to Tennessee
Back to Tennessee
Back to Tennessee
She wore goodbye like a diamond chain
Made leaving look like a sweet escape
She kissed me hard, then cut me deep
Now her ghost don't let me sleep
I hear her name in the radio sound
But I ain't gonna turn around
There's a little peace in letting go
And a long dirt road back home
She pulled me in
Then let me go
Now I'm flying blind
But I know where home is
I'm going back, back to Tennessee
Back to the nights that remember me
Back to the roads, back to the dreams
Back to the fire in the fields of green
She took my heart, but she won't take me
I'm going back, back to Tennessee
Back to Tennessee
Back to Tennessee
No more whiskey tears
No more wishing she was here
No more running from the truth
I'm running home, I'm running through
I'm going back, back to Tennessee
Back to the nights that remember me
Back to the roads, back to the dreams
Back to the fire in the fields of green
She took my heart, but she won't take me
I'm going back, back to Tennessee
Back to Tennessee
Back to Tennessee
Yeah, I'm going back
Back to Tennessee
