[Verse 1]
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 [dark/dawn?]
Cash in our chips and we can pack up the car
Lock up the door and hide the key

[Chorus]
The only two things
That mean anything to me
Are loving you and leaving Tennessee

[Verse 2]
Silver eagles fly down streets paved in gold
The stars keep shining through the dawn
Anything that 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

[Chorus]
The only two things
That mean anything to me
Are loving you and leaving Tennessee
[Bridge]
It's just the two of us all out on our own
That's the way it ought to be

[Chorus]
The only two things
That mean anything to me
Are loving you and leaving Tennessee

[Verse 3]
We can call up all our friends on the phone
Tell 'em someday we'll return
First, we have to start to make a new home
And we have one last bridge to burn
So lay your head down and we'll drive through the night
And in the morning light you're gonna see

[Chorus]
The only two things
That mean anything to me
Are loving you and leaving Tennessee
The only two things
That mean anything to me
Are loving you and leaving Tennessee
