When I reach the cross in the roads
When I'm down, when I'm broken and old
When I find the words for my blues
I'll write to you
I'll write to you
Tennessee's killin' me
For you
When I drown in the tears from the sky
When I lose my will to deny
When you're all alone and confused
I'll write to you
I'll write to you
Tennessee's killin' me
For you
When I reach the cross in the roads
When I'm down, when I'm broken and old
When I find the words for my blues
I'll write to you
I'll write to you
Tennessee's killin' me
For you
