Tennessee Girl

Well I left home at a crack of dawn just about a year ago

I thumbed my way cross the usa

And I learned a lot I didn't know

The primised Land that I thought

I'd find was always just ahead of me

Until one day when I realized I left it back in tennessee

And that's why I'm going back to my tennessee girl

And a tennessee way of life

And I'm gonna ask my tennessee girl

To be my tennessee wife

Tonight I slept in a hobo camp working out like dog by day

I never got enough to get ahead

Just enough to make my way

Cold and tired when the evening come

All I had to ease my mind

Was thinking bout the place I started from

And the girl that I left behind

And that's why I'm going back to my tennessee girl

And a tennessee way of life

And I'm gonna ask my tennessee girl

To be my tennessee wife

There ain't no place that I been at all

That I would gonna settle in

And every town that I travel

Through made me wanna go home again

The green green grass and the rolling hills

Seem to keep a calling me

Back to the place where I was born

And the girl that I long to see

And that's why I'm going back to my tennessee girl

And a tennessee way of life

And I'm gonna ask my tennessee girl

To be my tennessee wife

And that's why I'm going back to my tennessee girl

And a tennessee way of life

And I'm gonna ask my tennessee girl

To be my tennessee wife
