Dark Blue Tennessee

He said, "I got me a nice new apartment
In a city, would not you have hated that?
I'm getting by with a broken heart you left me with. "
He hangs up the phone and she whispers back,

Missing you like this is such sweet sorrow
Will not you come back to me?
I'll be here, today and here tomorrow
In dark blue Tennessee

He was lying when he said he moved to LA
He's just hiding out on the other side of town
With his head in his hands and she's just 7 miles away
He's staring out the window and puts her picture down saying,

Missing you like this is such sweet sorrow
Will not you come back to me?
I'll be here, today and here tomorrow
In dark blue Tennessee

She almost called him on the night that he wrote
These simple words on his goodbye note

Missing you like this is such sweet sorrow
Will not you come back to me?
I'll be here, today and here tomorrow
In dark blue Tennessee
