Bound for Tennessee Lyrics by The Infamous Stringdusters

I tried to tell you but I couldn´t find a word
Maybe, I did and you misunder stood

I guess, I thought it better for never we should be
I waited too long now, I´m bound for Tennes see

There´s no use wonderin`
Things are never what they seem
No sense in turning round
Looking back won't change a thing

That ship is sailing
It´s gone out on the sea
I waited too long
Now I´m bound for Tennessee

And when I am gone
Even long gone better, yeah
I won't forget you
Hear your voice in my head

I missed my chance to tell you
How much you meant to me
I waited too long
Now I´m bound for Tennessee

Promised not to call you
And I won't write you anymore
I lived that good life
Isn´t that what livin´s for?

It´s not the going
It´s the staying that worries me
Cause I waited too long
Now, I´m bound for Tennessee

Yes, we waited too long
