Tennessee Time Lyrics

Runnin' on Tennessee time
Runnin' on Tennessee time
There's a tap on my window
There's a ring at my door
And I'll answer in Tennessee time
Houston's a hard town
New York's not for mine
Every town I drift through
I just can't unwind
New Orleans hustle
Keeps a woman down
Waters so high
I can't touch the ground
Chorus
Thought there'd be something
In those bright lights
But all I got was lonely sleepless nights
Now I know what I didn't know back then
So when I get to Tennessee I'll never leave again
Chorus

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.
