The sun is settin’   On our time living here   You’ve lost the will   I’ve lost the heart   We should be leavin’   While the coast is still clear   Cause we won’t make it after dawn   We can cash in our chips   And pack up the car   Lock up the door   And hide the key      The only two things that mean anything to me   Are loving you   And leaving Tennessee       Silver eagles fly down streets paved with gold   Stars keep shining through the dawn   Anything you can dream of to hold   You can have here for a song   But there’s a song tonight   That’s riding the wind   I'm the words   And you’re the melody      The only two things that mean anything to me   Are loving you   And leaving Tennessee      It’s just the two of us   All out on our own   That’s the way it ought to be      The only two things that mean anything to me   Are loving you   And leaving tennessee      We can call up all our friends on the phone   Tell them that someday we’ll return   First, we have to start to make a new home   We have one last bridge to burn   Lay your head down and we’ll drive   Through the night   And in the morning light you’re gonna see      The only things that mean anything to me   Are loving you   And leaving Tennessee      The only things that mean anything to me   Are loving you   And leaving Tennessee
