Lyrics
TENNESSEE
been in this old gray town too long
i'm tired of waking up with a frown
traffic and climate wear on me
i need to be away out where i can breath.
work two jobs and i don'tknow why
buy some things i don't even try
my wife and kids i hardly see
i need to get away back where i can think
cho:
i'm going back to tennessee
cause these blues are killing me
gonna watch the river go by
gonna watch the eagle fly
going fishing with an old cane pole
down at the crawdad hole
going back to tennessee
that's where i'll be.
doctor says i need some pills to sleep
i pray the lord my soul to keep
ah but i know whats really wrong
i know what it takes to keep my spirit strong
repeat chorus.
