lyrics

The rooster crows and he knows
He's tired as hell and it shows
He sees in his own shadow
Hanging guard over all that he owes

Harvest time drawing near
Clear the fields there's wool to shear
Hope for a damn good harvest
Hanging guard over all that's dear

Tennessee cross to bear, It's on me

The shadow crosses the rows
He's a scare to all them crows
Still they circle as the wind blows
He's on guard over all he owes

Tennessee Cross to bear, It's on me
Tennessee Cross to bear, It's on me

This home is cold and he should've known
This really wasn't her dream
A sweet prairie girl, wild as the tornado whirls,
She just wanted to see, she just wanted to see,
More of the world

How could he leave,
This land passed down from his family
While he's pulling those ends to meet,
He can feel nails through his feet

Tennessee Cross to bear, It's on me
Tennessee Cross to bear, It's on me
Tennessee Cross to bear, It's on me
Tennessee Cross to bear, It's on me
