Tennessee Line
Daughtry Lyrics

I open my lungs
I am opening myself up to new beginnings and the possibility of a fresh start.

To breathe in forgiveness and love
I am looking to release any resentments I'm harboring and bring love into my life.

Haunting me now
The memories of my past are still affecting me and my present choices.

Reminders of how I used to be
The things I've done in the past are still affecting me, shaping how I view myself.

And on down the road
As I continue to move forward, my past will continue to have an impact on my life.

My troubles are sure to follow
My past struggles and issues will continue to haunt me and make life difficult.

Looking out the window
I am searching for some direction or guidance as I continue on this journey.

The hell if I know where I will go
I am uncertain of where this journey will lead me and what I'll find along the way.

So I'll just keep on driving
Despite my uncertainty, I will keep moving forward and trying to find my way.

On my way to L.A.
I am headed towards a new place, both physically and emotionally.

Looking into the rear view
I am reflecting on my past mistakes and struggles, trying to make sense of them.

As the roads fade away
As I move further away from my past, it becomes less clear and more difficult to navigate.

I've sworn off my past
I am making a conscious effort to move past my past and not let it continue to dictate my future.

First to last bad call that I ever made
I am acknowledging all of my past mistakes and trying to learn from them in order to move forward.

Tell me how to make right
I am asking for guidance and help in figuring out how to fix the mistakes I've made.

Every wrong turn that I've learned
I am trying to learn from every bad decision and mistake I've made so that I don't repeat them in the future.

So this can all end tonight
I am looking for closure and the ability to move forward from my past, starting fresh with a new beginning.

Tennessee line
The state line serves as a symbol of starting fresh and moving beyond the struggles and mistakes of the past.

Just changed my mind
I am changing my perspective and approach, looking to make a better future for myself.

Well, it's my heart I'll follow this time
I am going to trust my instincts and emotions, allowing my heart to guide me towards the future I want for myself.

Who would've known
I am surprised by how difficult it is to move past my past and how it continues to affect me.

That pride is so hard to swallow?
I am struggling to let go of my pride and admit my mistakes in order to move forward.

As I rest on the shoulder of a road growing colder
I am feeling lost and stuck, unsure of how to move forward and what direction to take.

With the trouble I own
I am accepting responsibility for my mistakes and struggles, acknowledging that they are mine to overcome.

Should I just keep on driving?
I am questioning whether I should continue on this path or try to find a different way forward.

I know I must be doing something right
Despite the difficulty of moving on from my past, I am making progress and growing as a person.

Head the other way, back to where I started out
I may need to backtrack and revisit my past in order to truly move on and find a new path forward.

Ask myself if I can turn it all around tonight
I am questioning if I can truly make a change and move beyond my past struggles and mistakes.

And stop living with doubt
I am looking to find confidence and clarity in order to move forward and create a better future for myself.

I'm gonna turn it all around tonight
I am committed to making a change and moving beyond my past, starting tonight.

Turn it all around (around tonight)
I am looking to make a full transformation in my life and leave my past behind.

At the Tennessee line
The state line represents the potential for transformation and new beginnings, a fresh start beyond my past mistakes.
