Rain In Tennessee Lyrics - Walter Egan

By Walter Egan 

In the rain in Tennessee Friday night remembering what used to be 

Many miles and years ago once there was a place and time I used to know 

But do we ever really know the life before our eyes 

Seems like many lives I've had 

Shared with friends and family some good some bad 

Memories come visiting 

Stirring up emotions deep inside of me 

Thinking bout what used to be 

And the rain in Tennessee 

But if I try I close my eyes 

And travel back against the tide 

It makes me sad but still I'm glad 

For all I've had 

Guess I'll never get to see everything I ever wished for you and me 

But we cannot command the fates 

We must just be thankful for what's on our plates 

As we wonder what awaits our life in Tennessee 

In Tennessee In Tennessee 

Its all we've got just you and me 

Let's make the best and 

Never rest until we just 

Wake up to a sunny morn 

When the storm and rainy clouds will all be gone 

We will look into our eyes 

And with the look we see there we will realise 

In the rain we've been baptized here in Tennessee
