Back To Tennessee
Homebound Dreams in Back To Tennessee
Lyrics
Christmas Eve all alone
Christmas Eve spent in solitude
Thinking about the folks back home
Reflecting on family members in the hometown
Through the pines I hear
Hearing a forlorn wind through the pine trees
That lonesome wind blow
Expressing a sense of loneliness and isolation
Cider's hot, drink my fill
Enjoying hot cider to keep warm
Red oak fire to break the chill
Warming up by a red oak fire
Thoughts of home reflected in my window
Feeling homesick, with thoughts of home visible in the window
For several weeks the creek's been froze
Describing a frozen creek due to severe winter weather
Can't get out the roads are closed
Being trapped at home due to impassable roads
It's been quite a spell of nasty weather
Highlighting an extended period of harsh weather
It's my favorite time of year
Expressing a fondness for the holiday season
But home's a thousand miles from here
Feeling a great distance from the home, which is far away
I wish so much that we were all together
Expressing a desire for everyone to be together
I can see us 'round the Christmas tree
Imagining a joyous gathering around the Christmas tree
Snowflakes fallin', my heart's callin' me
Feeling a deep emotional connection, expressed through falling snowflakes
Back to Tennessee
Expressing a longing to return to Tennessee
A blanket of new fallen snow
Describing a fresh layer of snow covering the surroundings
Has covered up the undergrowth
Portraying a serene mountainside illuminated by the moon
The mountainside is flowing in the moonlight
Creating an idyllic, picturesque scene
Though it's a picture perfect scene
Despite the beauty, yearning to be back home
I close my eyes and still I dream
Imagining the idealized homecoming even with closed eyes
Of being home in Tennessee tonight
Expressing a strong desire to be in Tennessee on this night
