Walter Egan - Rain in Tennessee Lyrics

By Walter Egan



In the rain in Tennessee Friday night remembering what used to be

Many miles and years ago once there was a place and time I used to know

But do we ever really know the life before our eyes



Seems like many lives I've had

Shared with friends and family some good some bad

Memories come visiting

Stirring up emotions deep inside of me

Thinking bout what used to be

And the rain in Tennessee



But if I try I close my eyes

And travel back against the tide

It makes me sad but still I'm glad

For all I've had



Guess I'll never get to see everything I ever wished for you and me

But we cannot command the fates

We must just be thankful for what's on our plates

As we wonder what awaits our life in Tennessee



In Tennessee In Tennessee

Its all we've got just you and me

Let's make the best and

Never rest until we just



Wake up to a sunny morn

When the storm and rainy clouds will all be gone

We will look into our eyes

And with the look we see there we will realise

In the rain we've been baptized here in Tennessee
