1.        Love is Like

Love is like an old highway

It’s a bumpy road that stops at a four-way

Where everybody knows your name but you Don’t know where to go

Love is like an old radio

It’s clear today but out tomorrow

Love is like a late night show

But talk is cheap

And then you sleep

Can you love him now?

’Cause he was just the wrong boy then

Can you love him now?

’Cause he was just the wrong boy then

Love is just a game

A flame it goes out

But you play with matches a little more

’Cause you’re a fire whore

Love is just an old theatre

Where you barter him and you barter her

You put on your makeup

Play your roles

But you better know your lines ’cause there’s

An exit sign

Love is a religion

We all know this

You’ve got the Pope in the living room

And the devil in your bed

Love is a religion

We all know this

You’ve got the devil in your living room

And the Pope in your head

Love is a religion

We all know this

You’ve got the Pope in the living room

And the devil in your head

Chorus

Love is like an old highway

It’s a bumpy road that stops at a four-way

Where everybody knows your name but you

Don’t know where to go

Can you love him now?

’Cause he was just the wrong boy then

Can you love him now?

’Cause he was just the wrong boy

The wrong boy then

2.        Gone Back to Tennessee

Driving in Tennessee

You can shoot the gap with me

We can neck for a while

In Tennessee

We drank the Falstaff beer

You threw your can out there

We can get its rusty core

Off that hillside

We went to Keller Bend

We drove around back then

Hearing ghosts and rattlesnakes

In Keller Bend

I’ve gone back

I’ve gone back

I’ve gone back

To Tennessee

I’ve gone back

I’ve gone back

I’ve gone back

For you and me

Sitting by the lake

Watching the boats go by

Sailing on a wake made of butterflies

You gave me flowers there

Fireflies were everywhere

In a castle full of lights

In Tennessee
