”Tennessee drives me mad but I’m not lonely
I was haunted for years and
Now I’m on the road to glory
We’re driving slowly
Catching up with the time
Oh lord give it back to me
Tennessee falls into my arms like a little baby
I was haunted for years but the tears I was shedding
Were your tears
We’re driving slowly
Catching up with the time
Oh lord give it back to me
We’ll never wait
Waiting makes us devils again
We’ll never wait again
Tennessee hold me tight and don’t you worry
I know you’re one of the immortals
And we’re on this road to glory
We’re driving slowly
Catching up with the time
Oh lord give it back to me
We’ll never wait
Waiting makes us devils again
We’ll never wait again
We’ll never wait
Waiting makes us devils again
We’ll never wait again
Let me slow down at the steelroad bridge
Behind the river just like back in 76
So Tennessee hold me tight
I don’t want to waste your time
So all you gotta do is
Stay on the road for a while
We’ll never wait
Waiting makes us devils again
We’ll never wait again
We’ll never wait
Waiting makes us devils again
We’ll never wait again”
