This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
You may call me a rover I have rambled around
But I’ll quit my roaming when I get to Nashville town
You may call me a liar or a hard-headed fool
But I’m burning into Memphis on a flop-eared mule
(Chorus)
I’m Tennessee bound bound bound
Bound bound bound
Good lord I’m Tennessee bound
Come a rolling down the mountain there’s a girl of fourteen
She’s the sweetest apple blossom just a hillbilly queen
I’m a coming round the mountain don’t you try to follow me
I’m going to be her daddy when I get to Tennessee
(Chorus)
Ooh Tennessee bound
Ooh Tennessee bound
Oh they say the stars in Texas surely shine shine shine
But I’d trade them all to taste a drop of mulberry wine
I’m a coming through the desert if I have to I will crawl
There’s a paradise a waiting once I get through Arkansas
(Chorus)
Ooh Tennessee bound
Ooh Tennessee bound
Ooh Tennessee bound
Ooh Tennessee bound
But I’ll quit my roaming when I get to Nashville town
You may call me a liar or a hard-headed fool
But I’m burning into Memphis on a flop-eared mule
(Chorus)
I’m Tennessee bound bound bound
Bound bound bound
Good lord I’m Tennessee bound
Come a rolling down the mountain there’s a girl of fourteen
She’s the sweetest apple blossom just a hillbilly queen
I’m a coming round the mountain don’t you try to follow me
I’m going to be her daddy when I get to Tennessee
(Chorus)
Ooh Tennessee bound
Ooh Tennessee bound
Oh they say the stars in Texas surely shine shine shine
But I’d trade them all to taste a drop of mulberry wine
I’m a coming through the desert if I have to I will crawl
There’s a paradise a waiting once I get through Arkansas
(Chorus)
Ooh Tennessee bound
Ooh Tennessee bound
Ooh Tennessee bound
Ooh Tennessee bound

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
