Tennessee

I have seen your rolling hills in speckled shade of green
rode your mares down dusty roads
& I have slept beside your streams
roaming round from town to town
I found a change came over me
as I grew to know your people tennessee

tennessee
you treat me like I was your only child
you always take me back with open arms
tennessee
you’ve given me the best things in my life
just to know you’re there
is all I need
till I come home
tennessee

I remember amber sunsets
smokey mountain haze
fishing bass from hickory lakes
on those lazy summer days
I remember being older once
but I was not as free
as I have been since I came to tennessee

tennessee
you treat me like I was your only child
you always take me back with open arms
tennessee
you’ve given me the best things in my life
just to know you’re there
is all I need
till I come home
tennessee

the work I do might keep me a thousand miles away
but who I am and where I’m from stays with me every day

tennessee
you treat me like I was your only child
you always take me back with open arms
tennessee
you’ve given me the best things in my life
just to know you’re there
is all I need
till I come home
tennessee
