All my engines staled when Marie's dress waved
Nothing seemed to matter at all but her and what the radio played
She came down the stairs like an angel in french braids
Offering my soul salvation when there wasn't much left to save
Well I just stared back up at her, halo lit up her face
Reflecting on my calluses I just smiled and a walked away
That night my head was an ocean of dreams I lie away but unafraid
She filled my lungs like a hurricane I wanted every single wave
When the sun comes up I find myself back in Tennessee
When the tide rolls in I hope you find yourself thinking of me
The bible belt boy whose faith was destroyed
In you, found some relief
The gold coast girl whose heart was a pearl
In an ever raging sea
Now we're staring up at the same night sky with a future too far to see
She reminds me that stars are for wishing but I'm still mad at the galaxy
Our planets collide they think our fate they decide but honey it's up to you and me
When the sun comes up I find myself back in Tennessee
When the tide rolls in I hope you find yourself thinking of me
The bible belt boy whose faith was destroyed
In you, found some relief
The gold coast girl whose heart was a pearl
In an ever raging sea
When the sun comes up I find myself back in Tennessee
When the tide rolls in I hope you find yourself thinking of me
The bible belt boy whose faith was destroyed
In you, found some relief
The gold coast girl whose heart was a pearl
In an ever raging sea
