Fogelberg Dan Old Tennessee Lyrics

Old Tennessee Lyrics

End of October
The sleepy brown woods
   seem to
Nod down their
heads
   to the Winter.
Yellows and grays
Paint the sad skies
today
And I wonder when
You're coming home.
Woke up one morning
The
wind through the window
Reminded me Winter
Was just 'round the
bend.
Somehow I just didn't
See it was coming
It took me by
surprise
   again.
And I hear you're in
   San Francisco
Living
with your sister
   who's a mother to be.
And her husband's way
  
down in Georgia
And I'm still in old
   Tennessee...
Wishing you'd
come home
   to me.
Life here is easy
I'm sure you recall
How it's
so warm and breezy
In the Summer and the Fall.
But Winter's upon
me
And I've got no heat here
And I miss your fire so
   sweet,
Dear
I miss your fire so sweet.
And I hear you're in
   San
Francisco
Living with your sister
   who's a mother to be.
And her
husband's way
   down in Georgia
And I'm still in old
  
Tennessee...
Wishing you'd come home
   to me.
End of October
The
sleepy brown woods
   seem to
Nod down their heads
   to the
Winter.
Yellows and grays
Paint the sad skies today
And I wonder
when
You're coming home
I wonder when you're
   coming home.
