Lyrics
Verse 1
I wandered down a dusty road, under a sunburnt sky,
With the weight of a thousand worries, and a sigh that won't die,
The heat was like a burden, too heavy to hold,
Till I found a little shade where the mountain's bold.
Chorus
In the shade of the Tennessee hills, where the cool breeze flows,
I found a place to rest my weary soul and let my troubles go,
With the pines whisperin' secrets and the streams runnin' free,
In the shade of the Tennessee hills, I found peace for me.
Verse 2
The sun beats down like a hammer, on this old work-worn hat,
But in the mountain’s cool embrace, I can finally relax,
The shadows dance on the ground, where the old oak stands tall,
In the shade of the Tennessee hills, I forget it all.
Chorus
In the shade of the Tennessee hills, where the cool breeze flows,
I found a place to rest my weary soul and let my troubles go,
With the pines whisperin' secrets and the streams runnin' free,
In the shade of the Tennessee hills, I found peace for me.
Bridge
The old porch swing creaks, as the cicadas sing,
I sip on my lemonade and feel the mountain's ring,
The world fades away in the twilight's embrace,
In the shade of the Tennessee hills, I've found my place.
Verse 3
The days may be long and the nights may be cold,
But in the mountain’s shade, my heart's got a hold,
Of a simpler time and a slower pace,
In the Tennessee hills, I've found my grace.
Chorus
In the shade of the Tennessee hills, where the cool breeze flows,
I found a place to rest my weary soul and let my troubles go,
With the pines whisperin' secrets and the streams runnin' free,
In the shade of the Tennessee hills, I found peace for me.
Outro
So if you’re feelin’ lost and the heat’s got you down,
Head for the hills where the cool can be found,
In the shade of the Tennessee hills, you’ll find what you need,
A place to slow down and let your heart be freed
