Lyrics
BACK HOME TO TENNESSEE
Don't need no lady friend
Takin' care of me
Don't want to be tied down
Just want to be free
Don't expect you to understand me
But this is how it's going to be
I can't take it here no more
Seems everyday you're down on me
I'm gonna leave you here tomorrow
And head on back to Tennessee
You promised me this
Then you promised me that
Anymore of your lying girl
You'll give me a heart attack
Don't expect you'll understand me
But his is how it's going to be
I can't take it here no more
Seems everyday you're down on me
I'll just grab this old nap sack
And head on back to Tennessee
I'm missin' my friends
My freedom too
You took my soul away
When I said I do
Don't expect you'll understand me
But this is how it's going to be
I can't take it here no more
Seems everyday you're down on me
I'm gonna leave you here tomorrow
And head on back to Tennessee
I'm gonna leave you here tomorrow
And head on back to Tennessee
I'll just grab this old nap sack
And head on back to Tennessee
