He asked me where I was from
I said somewhere you've never been to
A little town outside of Knoxville
Hidden by some dogwood trees
She tried talking with my accent
We held hands and waded into that blue water
She left her flip-flops by my right wing on the beach
If a man died in Pardo
In my sunburned silver rider
Like a man died in Pardo

Heart broke desperado
Headed right back to my room
Something about the way she kissed me
Tells me she loved Eastern Tennessee
Yeah, but all I brought back with me
Was some sand in my boot
I said, let's go shoot tequila
So we walked back to that beach bar
She said, don't cowboys drink whiskey
So we drank bottom shot
She said, damn, that sky looks perfect
I said, girl, you've never seen stars
Like the one you see in the mirror


And she said, man, I've seen them for myself
Yeah, but now I'm dodging Pardo
In my sunburned silver rider
Like a heart broke desperado
Headed right back to my room
Something about the way she kissed me
Tells me she loved Eastern Tennessee
Yeah, but all I brought back with me
Yeah, but all I brought back with me
Was some sand in my boot
My boot
Said, meet me in the morning
She told me I was crazy
Yeah, I still think about you
I thought that maybe she'd show up
Oh, but now I'm dodging Pardo
In my sunburned silver rider
Like a heart broke desperado
Headed right back to my room
Something about the way she kissed me
Tells me she loved Eastern Tennessee
Yeah, but all I brought back with me
Yeah, but all I brought back with me
Yeah, but all I brought back with me
Yeah, but all I brought back with me
Was some sand in my boot
My boot
Said, meet me in the morning
Said, meet me in the morning
