Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Neon lights are fading out I turned my dusty car about Left the stage and left the crowd Silence feels so very loud Back to where the ridge is blue Nothing left for me to do [Pre-Chorus] The highway hums a lonesome tune Underneath a paper moon I’m chasing ghosts of who I was Just because, just because [Chorus] Sage and thyme and mountain air Finding peace and beauty there Creaking swing on the old front porch I’ve finally put down the torch Hear the foghorn on the stream Waking from a city dream In the garden, I am free Tennessee is holding me [Verse] Granny’s garden’s overgrown Seeds that she had long ago sown Lavender and rosemary Whisper secrets back to me Dirt beneath my fingernails Telling all my quiet tales [Chorus] Sage and thyme and mountain air Finding peace and beauty there Creaking swing on the old front porch I’ve finally put down the torch Hear the foghorn on the stream Waking from a city dream In the garden, I am free Tennessee is holding me [Solo] [Bridge] Nashville didn't want my song I knew I didn't quite belong But the holler knows my name And it loves me just the same No more gold and no more glitz Where the broken spirit fits I can hear the river call Catching me before I fall [Chorus] Sage and thyme and mountain air Finding peace and beauty there Creaking swing on the old front porch I’ve finally put down the torch Hear the foghorn on the stream Waking from a city dream In the garden, I am free Tennessee is holding me [Post-Chorus] Let the banjo start to ring Let the fiddle softly sing In the holler, I am home Never more I’ll need to roam [Outro]
