I will see you in the mornin'
When the moonlight leaves the trees
But I will always feel the embers
Of the flames in Tennessee
I was sleepin' when they came knockin'
They said boy you better leave
Said South Nashville it's a-rockin '
And they can't get no relied
So I run to put my pants on
And I run to get my car
But the flames were a-risen'
And I didn't get too far
There was a black man on the corner
He said boy just turn away
I got a gun in my pocket
And I will take your life away
So I showed the man your picture
And I said we had a son
And I was just up here from Texas
I wasn't hurtin' anyone
So I run out to the highway
And I finally caught a ride
With some white trash outta-towner
With his wife and kids inside
So I sit here by the roadside
And I talk to your machine
I can see the flames a-raisin'
Over Nashville, Tennessee
Well, don't go lookin' on your TV
They gonna keep this all discreet
They will never tell the secretss
Of the flames in Tennessee
You know I hope she don't discover
That this all was just a lie
but if I don't get home to see her
Then my heart will surely die
I will see you in the mornin'
When the moonlight leaves the trees
But I will always feel the embers
The night they burned down
Nashville, Tennessee
