Tennessee Lyrics by Yarn

Yarn

2007

Oh Tennessee
You were calling after me
And I was right on time
I was the first in line
With the key

Hold there mama
Don't come calling after me
'Cause I am going down
Oh I'm going down
To Tennessee

Oh the north is where I laid
For the first half of my life
And now the south is what I crave
And where I know I'll get it right
This time

People asking me
Where you going
Why you wanna leave
I say Tennessee
'Cause this city didn't hold
What I was told
And the promises made
Always came too late
And the fortune and fame
Never found it's way to me
But maybe own in Tennessee

Tennessee
Tennessee
Tennessee
Tennessee
