And it's a song about borrowing a car to take a little trip.
And it's called Tennessee [D] Plates.
[Em] [Am] [C]
[E]
I woke up in the hotel didn't know what to do.
Trying to get my money for a letter to you.
It's all about a bad girl on the [A] interstate.
TV was looking for a cat and I looked in the sea.
It seems to be a problem when you get a picture down in the world.
Soon you'll have an opportunity.
My man is taking a curse.
Now that judge is next to you.
I will have to wait.
They're looking for a Cadillac.
They're looking for a Cadillac with [A] Tennessee.

Ever since that day she's been living in my [A] dreams.
I wish there would be another one this wild weekend.
[B] Anyway he wouldn't care.
Gave them to his [A] friend.
[E]
Well this ain't no hotel I'm riding you from.
No it's a Tennessee prison up at Crushing Mountain.
If you're sincere.
[Am] It's doing 5 to 8.
[A]
