[Verse 1]
I was on the telephone, it's time to hang it up
But I can't bring myself to say good night
This empty place inside my heart
Reminds me that we're miles apart
Oh, darlin', how I long to hold you tight
But we both know that it's too late
To travel down that interstate
There's just one way I can be with you tonight

[Chorus]
I'll Tennessee you in my dreams
Close my eyes and take away
This distance in between
Just knowing that you love me
Gives my spirit wings
Tonight I'll Tennessee you in my dreams

[Verse 2]
It's two A.M. in Nashville, and midnight in L.A
But it's all the same when we look at the sky
Well, I never knew 'til I missed you
How stars so bright could make me blue
Without my special someone by my side
The airport in this old town
Is long ago closed down
And there's just one way our hearts can fly tonight
[Chorus]
I'll Tennessee you in my dreams
Close my eyes and take away
This distance in between
Just knowing that you love me
Gives my spirit wings
Tonight I'll Tennessee you in my dreams

[Outro]
Close your eyes and make-believe
Tonight you're lying next to me
And I'll Tennessee you in my dreams
Woah-oh-oh
Tonight I'll Tennessee you in my dreams
