Tennessee
You just don't get it
I'm not answering your calls
You're thick headed
if you think I would still fall
If you have to
go ahead and play your cards
but I know you're the joker
& baby, I'm queen of hearts
So how can you ask me
if I want to come to Tennessee?
like you didn't leave me
without any warning
I did my crying
I mourned real well
I got over you
& I got over Nashville
Well strike a match
& watch it go up flames
I wasn't attached
To you, not that much anyway.
I played a good game
and then I washed it away
Took off more than makeup
I ran you right down the drain
So how can you ask me
if I want to come to Tennessee?
like you didn't leave me
without any warning
I did my crying
I mourned real well
I got over you
& I got over Nashville
You didn't put any thought into
how you were sawing off our ties
& I don't want to know your reasons
you didn't tell me goodbye
all that matters is I know
I didn't matter enough for you to try
So how can you ask me
if I want to come to Tennessee?
like you didn't leave me
without any warning
I did my crying
I mourned real well
I got over you
& I got over Nashville
I'm not answering your calls
You're thick headed
if you think I would still fall
If you have to
go ahead and play your cards
but I know you're the joker
& baby, I'm queen of hearts
So how can you ask me
