This week’s Four Track is called Tennessee Rose. A friend of mine is falling in love for the first time. They are young, and it’s been special to see this from a distance.
It reminds me of when I met Sarah for the first time... anyway, I wrote this song for them.
“The road beneath you don't always lead you where you thought you’d go… but here we are, Tennessee Rose."
Next week I have something very special to share with you guys, so I hope you’ll stay tuned!
See you next Friday,
Keeton
lyrics
Tennessee Rose, where do you wanna go?
I’ll take you if you want a ride
My truck’s got no AC but the breeze feels sweet
Through the windows darling, while we drive.
I don’t really know where I was going
Back before I saw your smile
You taste so sweet when you’re kissing me
Can I hold you a little too close, Tennessee Rose
You can spend all my money at the carnival honey
It’ll only take a couple hours
We can have a couple kids, figure out what life is
Take the sweet in with the sour
You’re pouring rain on a summer’s day
windows open, scattered showers
You taste so sweet when you’re kissing me
Can I hold you a little too close, Tennessee Rose
Hill country sunset pouring colors out on the sky
Let’s drink them in before the night kisses them goodbye
The road beneath you don’t always lead you where you thought you’d go
But here we are, Tennessee Rose
