It was a hot June morning on the intersate
|
She was flaggin' me down, I was 20 mintues late
|
She was broke down, north bound, Georgia line
|
I pulled on the shoulder and offered her a ride
|
With just one look, it was heart and soul
|
We were like a river runnin' out of control
|
|
When the Tennessee river hits the Nickajack Dam
|
Up come the water over Nickajack land
|
Like a top on a bottle when it's ready to blow
|
Love is gonna take ya where it wants you to go
|
When you buckle 'er down til she's beggin' to break
|
Well a Tennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake
|
|
We spent a week together in the next two nights
|
It was a barn burnin', nothin' ever felt so right
|
Before we both knew it we were makin' some plans
|
Seein' rings on our fingers, on both of our hands
|
Daddy said I was crazy, mommas both cried
|
But you gotta tell the world when you feel it inside
|
|
When the Tennessee river hits the Nickajack Dam
|
Up come the water over Nickajack land
|
Like a top on a bottle when it's ready to blow
|
Love is gonna take ya where it wants you to go
|
When you buckle 'er down til she's beggin' to break
|
Well a Tennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake
|
|
Now we got a cabin with a window veiw
|
Of the water and the woods and the ol' dam too
|
We got a lay away cradle her jeans are gettin' tight
|
I guess lovin' makes livin', and livin' makes life
|
I know how it is now's the way it should
|
Cause I look outside, and what do I see
|
|
When the Tennessee river hits the Nickajack Dam
|
Up come the water over Nickajack land
|
Like a top on a bottle when it's ready to blow
|
Love is gonna take ya where it wants you to go
|
When you buckle 'er down til she's beggin' to break
|
Well a Tennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake
|
|
When the Tennessee river hits the Nickajack Dam
|
Up come the water over Nickajack land
|
Like a top on a bottle when it's ready to blow
|
Love is gonna take ya where it wants you to go
|
When you buckle 'er down til she's beggin' to break
|
Well a Tennessee River will make a Nickajack Lake
