Cage The Elephant Beaches In Tennessee Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They won't let us keep the laces in our shoes
They say it's voluntary, but they won't let us choose
Looking through the glass, all that I can see
Reflection of the man who threw away the key

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm on my hands and knees, who's gonna come for me?
Tell all the magazines I'm a celebrity
They got their eyes on me, I'll never let 'em see
Forty to life, I'll be dead by the time I leave

[Chorus]
Somebody take me home, they're trying to bury me
I'm going back to those beaches in Tennessee
Somebody take me home, I'm not the enemy
I'm going back to those beaches in Tennessee
I'm going back to those beaches in Tennessee
I'm going back to those beaches in Tennessee

[Verse 2]
Me and all my friends, we all know the drill
They got to pay the rent, so they try to keep us ill
Must have seen too much in the blotted ink
I'ma shave my head and wash my secrets down the sink

[Pre-Chorus]
Checking my face to see where they've been mocking me
Forty to life, I'll be dead by the time I leave

[Chorus] Somebody take me home, they're trying to bury me
I'm going back to those beaches in Tennessee
Somebody take me home, I'm not the enemy
I'm going back to those beaches in Tennessee
I'm going back to those beaches in Tennessee
I'm going back to those beaches in Tennessee

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh, oh, ooh
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh, oh, ooh
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh, oh, ooh
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh, oh, ooh

[Bridge]
I won't live a lie, live a lie, I won't live a lie
I won't trust my eyes until I make it to the other side
Come and pick me up, pick me up, be my ride or die
Yeah (Yeah), yeah (Yeah), yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Somebody take me home, they're trying to bury me
I'm going back to those beaches in Tennessee
Somebody take me home, I'm not the enemy
I'm going back to those beaches in Tennessee
I'm going back to those beaches in Tennessee
I'm going back to those beaches in Tennessee

[Outro]
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh, oh, ooh
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh, oh, ooh
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh, oh, ooh
Ooh, oh, ooh, oh, oh, ooh
