The situation's got me thinking
Maybe I should not be thinking much anymore
My soul is aching, my hands are shaking
And my brain is sore
I never chose to feel the way I do
We're all just products of a painful past
There's gotta be a better place
Where living's got a sweeter taste
And where loving's gonna really last
It's a slow game
Leaving old pain
Baby, can you make it fast
Well, take me to Tennessee, baby
I'm a freight train moving slow
I'm on the wrong side of the Mississippi River
And I gotta go
Well, behind me is a scary place
Maybe only I am gonna ever know
Can you take me away
It's been so damn cold in Idaho
I've been snowed in with my demons for so long
I can't remember what it's like to trust a brighter day
Yeah, I gotta figure out how to cast away my doubt
Maybe your loving is the only working way
And I apologize for all the bad I did
Felt like I didn't have a choice at all
Do you remember when winter started blowing in
Well, I guess I left my heart back in the fall
You're like spring rains
On these cold plains
Melting down my strongest walls
Well, take me to Tennessee, baby
I'm a freight train moving slow
I'm on the wrong side of the Mississippi River
And I gotta go
Well, behind me is a scary place
Maybe only I am gonna ever know
Can you take me away
It's been so damn cold in Idaho
Take me, take me
Take me, take me away
Can you take me away, baby
Take me, take me
Take me, take me away
Can you take me
Oh, just take me away
Take me to Tennessee, baby
I'm a freight train moving slow
I'm on the wrong side of the Mississippi River
And I gotta go
Well, behind me is a scary place
Maybe only I am gonna ever know
Can you take me away
It's been so damn cold in Idaho
Can you take me away
It's been so damn cold in Idaho
Yeah, if you can't take me away
My heart got nowhere togo
And I gotta go
Take me to Tennessee, baby
I'm a freight train moving slow
