Tennessee
by Derek Snow
I awaken to smell of an ocean breeze
the wind blowing over a raging sea
golden sand surrouding my body
sunlight kissing my skin
paradise but not for me
Everything I love's in Tennessee
your midnight hair and electric eyes
the way you touch my hand
today I smell your perfume on the breeze
feel your kisss on wind
your arms I feel like the sand that surrounds me
Paradise is not for me
Everything I loves in Tennessee
children play around me and I think of her
even the distance can't stop that
every night I think I hear calling me
daddy's not happy in paradise
It's no paradise for me
because my daughter and her mother
Everything I love in Tennessee...
