TAOS TO TENNESSEE
(Tish Hinojosa)


Tish Hinojosa - 1987


I've been on a one-way track
Guess there's no more lookin' back without you
I've known loneliness before
And here it's knockin' at my door again

What's been done and what's been said
One love's gone and my head's all for leavin'
Taos is home, but times look good
And my mind's on that road to Tennessee

Western sky shining warm upon my back
Save a fiery setting Sun for me
Misty eye needs a starry southern night
To shine a trail from Taos to Tennessee

(Instrumental Break)

Times are fast, but dreams move slow
And Nashville and New Mexico's the same
And if I could have my way
I'd take your love when I leave town today

Mountain sage, desert pine
How I hate to leave it all behind
Southern ways are new to me 
But for a song, it's where I long to be

Western sky shining warm upon my back
Save a fiery setting Sun for me
Misty eye needs a starry southern night
To shine a trail from Taos to Tennessee
To shine a trail from Taos to Tennessee

Lah-lah-lah ............ FADE
