I left the West coast watched the palm trees wave goodbye   It was a hard drive had to say goodbye to you   I stopped for some Coca-Cola and some corn nuts too   I thought about turnin' back I already missed you      If you need me burn it up bend the rules leave right away   If you need me take a four lane headed my way   Take a bus, take a plane , take a car, take a train   Take a bike, hitch a ride you decide   If you need me you know where I'll be in Tennessee      Goin' through my boxes found a photograph   Where you're sittin' on a mule in Mexico   Picture perfect point of view   An then a postcard dropped from a book you gave me on my birthday   An it hit me, baby      If you need me burn it up bend the rules leave right away   If you need me take a four lane headed my way   Take a bus, take a plane, take a car, take a train   Take a bike, hitch a ride you decide      If you need me leave L.A. we'll take it day by day   All alone, here I am by the phone   Understand it's not too late what are you waiting' for?   If you need me you know where I'll be, yeah in Tennessee      Well, it's a Sunday mornin' I awake it's just another lonely day   I lie in bed and wonder how long is this gonna take   Then I think to myself will I ever get a break?   Did I make a big mistake?      Well, I light the fire, I draw the bubble bath   Hey, you do the math   It's just me an I'm without you   What else could I do      If you need me burn it up bend the rules leave right away   If you need me take a four lane headed my way   Take a bus, take plane, take a car, take a train   Take a bike, hitch a ride you decide   If you need me you know where I'll be in Tennessee
