Lyrics
UNWANTED MAN IN TENNESSEE - MIKE STRICKLAND/ WALLY FORD
01-24-2006
TENNESSEE, TENNESSEE
I ACTED LIKE A FOOL
IN TENNESSEE
WORE OUT MY WELCOME SHOES
MESSIN? WITH THE BLUES
HAS BUSTED ME
THEM GOOD FOLKS DOWN IN MEMPHIS
DON?T CARE ABOUT ME NOW
SINCE I GOT DRUNK ON BEALE STREET
AND BURNED ?THE HANDY? DOWN
THEY?LL NEVER LET ME BACK
IN TENNESSEE
TENNESSEE, TENNESSEE
I?M AN UNWANTED MAN
IN TENNESSEE
MY STAR WILL NEVER SHINE
WEARIN? BLUE SUEDE SHOES
IS JUST A DREAM
SHERIFF AND THE DEPUTY
WILL NEVER FIND ME NOW
I?M LAYIN? LOW IN KEY LARGO
SINGIN? TO A DIFFERENT CROWD
?COS THEY?LL NEVER LET ME BACK
IN TENNESSEE
TENNESSEE, TENNESSEE
I?M AN UNWANTED MAN
IN TENNESSEE
