Long Night In Tennessee Lyrics - Matt Wertz

Heard you were leaving 

You hadn't asked for much 

Just a strong hand and a soft touch 

The miles in between us 

Were to great for you to hold 

You said something's different 

Something's changed 

From the way it was 

In those summer days 

But you can't explain it 

And it's best that we just move on 

Go on and speak for yourself 

Nothing has changed in the south 

But you get a free night in Boston 

I get a long night in Tennesee 

Said we'd be together 

Until the end of time 

But my clock's still tickin' 

Quarter past nine 

Every second that passes 

Second guesses are made through
