Texty: Ryan Adams. Tennessee Square.

red ribbons hang in a tennessee square
old people laughing and singing and dancing down there
i'd like to join them, i got no money to spare
so i sit here and watch from the porch
drinkin whiskey in granddaddy's chair.

ferris wheel lights look like pictures i'd seen in a book somewhere
vacant parking lots across the street remind me i'm going nowhere
i'd like to join 'em, i got no money to spare
so i sit here and i watch from the porch
drinkin whiskey in granddaddy's chair

it's difficult to go on knowing you're out there somewhere
vacant parking lots across the street remind me i'm going nowhere
