Tennessee Ticket

Here some memories do reside

Separate from the past I wish to hide

I’m riding this train

To follow the path to a Southern life

Fight against my Yankee past.

Chorus:

It’s a new start for me,

Now I get hit retry

Instead of constant repeat.

This Tennessee ticket

Is my ticket to new love, new life

Rebirth—it’s my turn to breathe.

I’m escaping to a new life

Grasping for the ladder rung;

Climb out of the dark hole

That I’ve been swimming in.

Give me that fresh air,

Take me to Music Drive.

Chorus

I’m leaving the life I had behind me

My family still loves me,

Know their baby girl has to do this

It’s time for a change

But a piece of my heart will always follow—

My faith will keep me strong.

Chorus

It’s a new start for me,

Now I get to hit retry,

Time to edit my everything,

No more constant repeat.

This Tennessee ticket

Is my ticket to new love, new life.

Yeah, this Tennessee ticket

Is my ticket to new love and new life.

Anymore

Don’t turn away,

Don’t walk away

Come here and face me.

Time we laid all the chips and cards down

It’s time we talked,

And it wont be easy.

Bridge:

Sticks and stones may break my bones,

But your words no longer hurt me;

No, you can’t hurt me anymore.

You took my heart,

You made and broke me,

You were my happy place,

Come here and tell me how

I can replace all of what you’ve done

And what you did to crack me.

Bridge

Because I am stronger,

Did you think that I’d let myself

Love you forever and ever?

You’re wrong, I’m not your slave

Honey, you’ve misplayed the game

And now you’re left all alone.

Sticks and stones may break my bones,

But your words no longer hurt me anymore.

Come Back to Me

Someday, we will find each other again

I guess for now, it’s time to part

My heart cries, it’s hard to say goodbye

But I try to keep in mind, it’s not forever.

Chorus:

Clocks are gonna turn.

Lovers are gonna come and go.

My heart for you will continue to burn.

All I gotta do is wait,

Wait until you come back to me.

Come back to me.

I sat by the phone waiting

Thought you would call or text me.

You had told me all of your love you had,

We we’re going to be finally happy.

Chorus

And then three weeks went by,

I never heard a single word, and I cried--

Cried myself to sleep every night.

My heart battled with my mind.

Chorus

So I guess it’s time to move on,

Find another man to hold me close

Lie to myself until I believe myself,

I’ll go on lonely dating and breaking hearts.

Chorus

Come back to me.
