I'd be driving on I-40 almost the whole way.
I think driving east or west on I-40 at 7 am should (should) give you plenty of time to reach a destination two hours away.
Having said that, I live in the greater Nashville area. We ran by a Target today that's located near an interstate exit. I have NEVER seen so many out of state license plates in that parking lot, and people in nearby stores were already saying that they love the extra business but it's been insane this weekend with visitors here for the eclipse.
The weather should be hot & humid here on Monday. Take bottled water and sunscreen with you in the car, just in case you get stuck somewhere along the way.
