Story Behind the Song
Finally got Jackie "B" to finish this one. It took a lot to get her going, but the wait was worth it!
Lyrics
(Hey girl, I’m home. Yoe, girl, I’m home. What’s this, some kind of letter?)
I’m writing this letter
And I’m leaving it near your brand new vines:
You see when you get ready to go our tonight
I want you to have something on your mind:
You see I tried my very best to be the kind of woman
I thought you would respect:
But deep down inside
My whole life
Has been a wreck:
I love you
There ain’t no sense in lying
But you take all my love
And go and leave me… crying
Now I’m not gonna take
All this misery
I’m gonna be leaving:
For a whole lot of reasons:
There’s a slow train going to Tennessee
And I plan to make it tonight
I’ve been thinking about it
For a long time
And I’m changing
My life
Yeah
I’m packing my bags, tonight, baby
And I ain’t gonna be coming back
I’m going back to Tennessee
To start a new life
And I’mmmmmmmm
I’m changing my life
And I’m leaving on the
First thing smoking, yeah, yeah
To start a new life.
Understand, boy
Now I sit here crying
Each and every night
While you run those streets
All night long, yeah, yeah
And leave me at home
But oh, but baby
I’m packing my bags
And I’m leaving on the
First thing smoking
Yeah, yeah
I’m going home to Tennessee
And I ain’t gonna be coming back
Yeah!
So, you thought
You thought you could just
Run that game on me.
