Verse 1

Pulled out of Florida just after dawn,

Palms in the mirror, radio on,

Still love that place, but it got too loud,

Too many people, too many crowds.

Needed some quiet, needed some right,

Found my way north to a better life.

Chorus

I love my new life with my Tennessee wife,

Where the days slow down and the stars shine bright,

I can breathe again, sleep through the night,

Yeah, I love my new life with my Tennessee wife.

Nothing against where I’ve already been,

Just found a place that fits me again.

Verse 2

Smoky Mountains cutting the sky,

Rolling hills where the rivers run wide,

Four real seasons, winter’s kind,

Just enough cold to clear your mind.

Write a song at dawn, hike by noon,

Front-porch talk and a rising moon.

Chorus

I love my new life with my Tennessee wife,

County fairs, church bells, Friday night lights,

Veterans honored, roots run deep,

Live and let live—let people be.

Ain’t chasing loud, ain’t chasing hype,

I love my new life with my Tennessee wife.

Bridge

Came for a year, that’s all we said,

Funny how forever’s what we found instead.

Final Chorus

I love my new life with my Tennessee wife,

Stories matter more than the race outside,

Florida sun still warms my past,

But this kind of calm—man, it lasts.

Yeah, I didn’t lose love, I gained my life,

I love my new life with my Tennessee wife.Pulled out of Florida, felt it right,

Turned the wheel toward a better life.
