I want to know why
every time I kiss that boy goodbye
the sky starts to cry
Tennessee tears

And, yes I have found
each every time I leave this town,
they start pouring down
Tennessee tears

Yes, yes I know
When I got to go, I got to go
But, like a river they flow,
Tennessee tears

They're splashing off of my windshield
here we go again

and, every time I leave out of Nashville,
headed down to mobile,
it's always got to rain, yeah
