Me & Tennessee Lyrics

Baby, I think we both know
It's gone wrong, wrong, wrong
And I know you don't think we can carry it on
Baby, I think we both know
It's gone bad, bad, bad
Think of all the good times we had

Driving to your house
Remember when we first met
Dancing on a Friday night
Under the moonlight
Talking 'til the night was gone
In the back of my truck with the radio on

Then that old song comes on
Together we're singing
Forever we're singing
When that old song comes on
Together we're singing
Forever we're singing
That old country song

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Baby, I think we both know
It's all right, all right
But how could I forget what you did that night
Baby, you told me you loved me in Tennessee
Where we were gonna live
But now you've done a few things that I can't forgive

Driving to her house
Telling her you love her
Lying on a Friday night
Ring in your pocket
Lying to me all along
In the back of your truck with the radio on

Then that old song comes on
Together we're singing
Forever we're singing
I know we went wrong, but we belong
Together we're singing
Forever we're singing
That old country song

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Then that old song comes on
Together we're singing
Forever we're singing
I know we went wrong, but we belong
Together we're singing
Forever we're singing
That old country song

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

My Best Friend

Baby, I think we both know
It's gone wrong, wrong, wrong
And I know you don't think we can carry it on
Baby, I think we both know
It's gone bad, bad, bad
Think of all the good times we had

Driving to your house
Remember when we first met
Dancing on a Friday night
Under the moonlight
Talking 'til the night was gone
In the back of my truck with the radio on

Then that old song comes on
Together we're singing
Forever we're singing
When that old song comes on
Together we're singing
Forever we're singing
That old country song

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Driving to her house
Telling her you love her
Lying on a Friday night
Ring in your pocket
Lying to me all along
In the back of your truck with the radio on

Then that old song comes on
Together we're singing
Forever we're singing
I know we went wrong, but we belong
Together we're singing
Forever we're singing
That old country song

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Then that old song comes on
Together we're singing
Forever we're singing
I know we went wrong, but we belong
Together we're singing
Forever we're singing
That old country song

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this song is pretty straight forward. They both know that their relationship has gone sour, but then they hear their old song, and they remember why they want to be together. Even though the girl knows he has done her wrong, and she finds it hard to forget what he has done--all the good memories come rushing back as soon as she hears their old song. They both feel that despite all the negatives in their relationship, they belong together. That "old country song" is a strong symbol of their relationship.
