Lyrics
This job is getting longer every day
eight a.m.'s too early, five o'clock's too late
I feel a long vacation coming over me
I'll be flying down the highway, whistling in the breeze.
(Chorus)
Ooh, wee, in a T-Bird to Tennessee
the gate was left wide open, and wild horses are running free
you and me, driving to the beat
turn on the radar, don't tell them where we are
in a T-Bird to Tennessee.
Tell them I'm in Texas or L.A.
say I've lost my senses, been staying out too late
cowboy hats and Nashville cats and old flat top guitars
and Opry House is rockin' to the hottest country stars.
There's the Chattanooga running free
there's a banjo playing a summer memory
tell the boss to write it off, its something I have to see
fill the tank, pull down the top, and that's the last you'll see of me.
