I?m standing at the gate
Waitin? on my plane
The sky is black
And it?s startin? to rain
Memphis, this May
More than I can take
Think?in of her
& Feel?in?s I can?t shake
She left without warn?in
Back to an empty home
Sit?in on the floor
Never felt so alone
Gonna hop this bird
& just let it be
Rainy day Tennessee
No more you and me
There?s an ache in my life
Don?t think I can stand
To see her again
Lovin? some other man
How could she do it?
Well, now, it?s easy to see
Hit me not look?in
Hell, she never loved me
Just left without warn?in
I walked into an empty home
Knocked to the floor
Never been that alone
Gonna hop this bird
& just let it be
Rainy day Tennessee
No more you and me
Bridge: The people I love
said she'll break your heart...
Should've listened to them from the start
Our dreams were different
And so far apart
This broken man, missed his mark
Acoustic Solo------
Rainy day Tennessee
No more you and me?..
Rainy day Tennessee
No more you and me
Rainy day Tennessee
No more you .....and me
