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
