Carolina’s been gone for days,
Nothing she say’s will change my way.
I’m day dreaming in the back of a car,
None of my thought they get very far.
From the first day you walked into my life,
I knew one day that you’d be gone.
Oh, I miss all the things we had,
I never thought once was it good or bad.
Now you’re gone so many miles away,
And, come home is all you can say.
Oh, I try and I try
But the Tennessee countryside keeps rollin’ by
Well, I try and I try
But the Tennessee countryside keeps rollin’ by
We’re growin up under burned out skies,
As the Dixieland closes her eyes.
So why don’t you go up and be a big ol man,
And fight my battles the best that you can.
And by the way who’s side are you on,
How do we know that you’re not wrong?
We roll the dice and go on our way,
Another generation with nothing to say.
Well we’re just along for the ride,
Just trying to find what’s on the other side.
Oh, I try and I try
But the Tennessee countryside keeps rollin’ by
Well, I try and I try
But the Tennessee countryside keeps rollin’ by
Well, I try and I try
But the Tennessee countryside keeps rollin’ by
We’re all lost in the mainstream
We’re all lost in the mainstream
We’re all lost in the mainstream
