Headed for Tennessee

[Intro]

[Chorus]
I'm leaving Louisiana
Headed for Tennessee
I'm not packing anything
But some old memories
I'm looking to start a new life
Shake off all the trouble and strife
I'm leaving Louisiana
Headed for Tennessee

[Verse 1]
Nashville has been calling
Been calling me by name
Figured I’d head up there
To grab a little fame
I'm taking my old guitar
My harmonica too
If you find me on my corner
I'll play a tune for you

[Chorus]
I'm leaving Louisiana
Headed for Tennessee
I'm not packing anything
But some old memories
I'm looking to start a new life
Shake off all the trouble and strife

[Guitar and Harmonica Solo]
(Upbeat, energetic instrumental break)

[Verse 2]
The going can be rough
And the road has turns
But Mama raised me to be tough
With a desire that burns

[Bridge]
I may never make it to the big time
And that will be just fine
But I won't leave this earth behind
Till I've walked that neon line

[Chorus]
I'm leaving Louisiana
Headed for Tennessee
I'm not packing anything
But some old memories
I'm looking to start a new life
Shake off all the trouble and strife
I'm leaving Louisiana
Headed for Tennessee

[Outro]
Yeah, headed for Tennessee...
(Harmonica fades out with a steady drumbeat)

[End]
