As I listen to the wheels
Hear them going 'round and 'round
It reminds me of the train
That still makes a lonely sound

It reminds me of the girl
That came from Knoxville town
And how on that April day
When she took this old boy down

Oh Tennessee, you got me runnin'
But I'm not coming back this time
Way out west is where I'm going
To forget the one I have left behind

Well I might have seen Moses
Standin' on the Penn State line
Just another wanderer
With an angel on his mind

I know love it has its reasons
The way it comes and it goes
There's no mystery in seasons
Or of this hard, cold road

Oh Tennessee, you got me runnin'
And I'm not coming back this time
Way out west is where I'm going
To forget the one I left behind
Oh Tennessee, you got me runnin'
And I'm not coming back this time
Way out west is where I'm going
To forget the one I left behind

Oh Tennessee, you got me runnin'
And I'm not coming back this time
Way out west is where I'm going
To forget the one I have left behind
