It was late in September
I was feelin' lonely and free
In those hot Texas winds
I headed on back to Tennessee
On the night that I left
You told me you couldn't come with me
And I ain't gonna ask you to tell me what I wanna hear
To tell me what I wanna hear
Well
I headed on back and I found that familiar place
But I still couldn't get your memory off of my mind
So I called you up late that night and I told you
I loved you then and I love you now and I wanna love you forever
Wanna love you forever
Well
I told you I loved you then and I love you now
And I wanna love you forever
You told me you needed time and you needed space
And you needed to do the things that you wanted to do
You wanted to do
I was feelin' lonely and free
In those hot Texas winds
I headed on back to Tennessee
On the night that I left
You told me you couldn't come with me
And I ain't gonna ask you to tell me what I wanna hear
To tell me what I wanna hear
Well
I headed on back and I found that familiar place
But I still couldn't get your memory off of my mind
So I called you up late that night and I told you
I loved you then and I love you now and I wanna love you forever
Wanna love you forever
Well
I told you I loved you then and I love you now
And I wanna love you forever
You told me you needed time and you needed space
And you needed to do the things that you wanted to do
You wanted to do
