Tennessee's Not The State I'm In Lyrics - Singles - Joe Ely

You might call it sad confusion 

You might even call it off 

But once you called me more than just your friend 

Now there's more to what I'm thinkin' 

Than the Mississippi Line 

And Tennessee's not the state I'm in 

You call me up at midnight 

To explain your whereabouts 

I should've seen your love was coming to an end 

And as you call from longer distances 

I began to have my doubts 

Still Tennessee's not the state I'm in 

No, Tennessee's not the state I'm in 

Satisfied is not the way I've been 

I can feel my world turning 

As I watch the bottle spin 

Still Tennessee's not the state I'm in 

Well, I could stand out on that highway 

Trying to make that Nashville scene 

But I think I've stretched my luck a little thin 

So I walk the streets of Memphis 

But I'll have you understand 

That Tennessee's not the state I'm in
