Thorny Tree ID (TN)

I was walking in our meadow yesterday near the creek and noticed a tree with 1 1/2-2 inch spikes growing on both the branches and the trunk. Any idea what it could be?

Greetings Lori: If the tree has thorns on the main stem/bole and branches, then it is probably a honeylocust: http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=GLTR
