Saw a sign on my rear view mirror
Said welcome to Tennessee
Once it was an invitation
But now it's adiós for me
I had to move home, get a job
I fell in love with living hard
And I wrote a song about it
And my song went something like
Sun comes up
It's a shot of whiskey
Had a girl, but she don't miss me
Sun goes down, it a shot of Jack
Everybody knows that she ain't coming back
Had a dream I'd write a song for a country star
Like Tim McGraw or Kenny Chesney
And I play covers in a downtown bar
Cas I done my time in Mississippi
But then I played my song for a friend
Who had a friend
The next thing I know
My song was top 10, with a bullet
And my song went something like
Sun comes up
It's a shot of whiskey
Had a girl, but she don't miss me
Sun goes down, it a shot of Jack
Everybody knows that she ain't coming back
Everybody knows that she ain't coming back
On my way back to Nashville
It was a hot summer night
Heard my song on the radio
And my song, my song went something like
Whoa, oh oh oh
Everybody knows that she ain't coming back
Whoa, oh oh oh oh oh
Everybody knows that she ain't coming back
The sun comes up
It's a shot of whiskey
Had a girl, but she don't miss me
Sun goes down, it a shot of Jack
Everybody knows that she ain't coming back
Whoa oh oh oh
Everybody knows that she ain't coming back
Whoa oh oh oh oh oh
Everybody knows that she ain't coming back
She ain't coming back
