Going to Tennessee
John Darnielle
[Verse 1]
Baseball season will be starting soon
But we have no baseball team here
I've got a house right on the river
I can see Arkansas from where I am
The dogs are gathering
And the birds are chattering
[Refrain]
And the sun is setting on Memphis
And the sun is setting on Memphis
[Verse 2]
Medicine bottle collection on the windowsill
Shakes when the cars go past on interstate fifty-five
You are standing above me
You've washed your face with that apricot scrub again
I'm glad I am alive
And your skin is warming up
And my skin is warming up
[Refrain]
And the sun is setting on Memphis
And the sun is setting on Memphis
