about

This song is about tapping back into your footloose freedom...the kind you had as a child....before you had to "grow up".
I love Tennessee. Growing up, our family spend Spring Breaks hiking in the Smoky Mountains, swimming in the sinks and holes, walking through blooming flowers, listening to and playing bluegrass musicm and eating pancakes for breakfast!
In my 20's, I lived and went to school in the Volunteer State, and still hold it dear to my heart,
This song is about that spirit.. not having to really grow up, even though we grow, but never old.

lyrics

Lost my mind by the wandering pine – went out of my way to find it
Broken heart, and a pitiful song –and a picture to remind me

Wanna grow up, but I don’t wanna get old
Wanna get up, but I don’t wanna get cold
Wanna love you, but could I still be free?
Would you carry me back to Tennessee?

Little Bird singin’ me a travelin’ song with rest and understanding
Battle of the heart that’s never outgrown
And a penchant that commands it

Wanna grow up, but I don’t wanna get old
Wanna get up, but I don’t wanna get cold
Wanna love you, but could I still be free?
Would you carry me back to Tennessee?

Living’ in the dust but I gotta move on
Wildflowers grow beneath me
Fire in the heart that never goes down
Could this patience ever tame me
