Please Come Back To Tennessee
Chasing Redemption: A Soul's Journey Through D.C. and Tennessee
Lyrics
I ran down to D.C. the last time that I broke my own heart
The speaker went to Washington D.C. the last time they experienced heartbreak.
Then I ran to Tennessee cause I lost myself in the rain
They went to Tennessee because they felt lost and disconnected due to their emotional state.
I was losing it every day
The speaker was experiencing a continuous struggle or deterioration emotionally.
I was not making lemonade with the fruits, I know
They weren't making the best out of a difficult situation, acknowledging they weren't finding positivity in it.
I know I keep on running
There's a persistent pattern of the speaker constantly running away from problems or situations.
Won't stop until I should
They will keep running until they feel it's necessary to stop.
Oh, I just keep on running
Despite the implication of ongoing escape, the speaker acknowledges their continuous behavior of avoiding.
Oh I really think you could...
The speaker believes the person they're addressing could potentially understand or empathize with their actions.
So I run
The action of running away continues.
Run away
Expresses the desire to escape or flee.
I swear I wanna stay with you
They express a wish to remain with the person they care about.
I swear I wanna stay with you
Repeated expression of the desire to stay with the person.
I just run
Another instance of the speaker running away.
Run away
Expresses the desire to escape or flee again.
I don't wanna be like that with you
The speaker doesn't want to exhibit negative behaviors around the person they care about.
Caught a bird to L.A. to get an oz of green and fly back
The speaker took a trip to L.A. to acquire marijuana and return.
Oh what's wrong with that?
The speaker questions the morality or issues associated with their actions.
Whenever you're on the road or
When the person they care about is away, the speaker feels a sense of anticipation or longing for their return.
I'm back at home waiting for you to come walk through that back door
A plea for the person to come back to Tennessee and reunite with the speaker.
Please come back to Tennessee
Expressing the desire for the person to return to Tennessee.
Drink one with the boys and take me back home
Asking the person to enjoy a drink with friends and then return home.
Oh, oh I know I keep on running
Admitting the ongoing behavior of running away, acknowledging they would change it if they could.
I wouldn't if I could
Expresses the desire to stop running away, indicating it's not a preferred choice.
But I just keep running
The speaker still continues to run away despite wishing they could stop.
Oh, I really wish I could
Expresses a strong wish to change the current behavior of escaping.
So I run
Continuation of the action of running away.
Run away
Expresses the desire to escape or flee again.
I swear I wanna stay with you
The wish to remain with the person they care about.
I swear I wanna stay with you
Repeated expression of the desire to stay with the person.
I just run
The speaker feels stuck or stagnant in their situation.
Run in place
Expresses a desire to remain in the same place despite the inclination to escape.
I swear I wanna stay with you
Expresses the desire to stay with the person they care about.
I swear I wanna stay with you
Repeated expression of the wish to remain with the person.
