Well I left home at a crack of dawn just about a year ago |
| [00:13.55] |
I thumbed my way cross the usa |
| [00:16.88] |
And I learned a lot I didn't know |
| [00:20.67] |
The primised Land that I thought |
| [00:22.85] |
I'd find was always just ahead of me |
| [00:27.87] |
Until one day when I realized I left it back in tennessee |
| [00:34.15] |
And that's why I'm going back to my tennessee girl |
| [00:38.26] |
And a tennessee way of life |
| [00:42.27] |
And I'm gonna ask my tennessee girl |
| [00:45.77] |
To be my tennessee wife |
| [00:51.34] |
Tonight I slept in a hobo camp working out like dog by day |
| [00:58.57] |
I never got enough to get ahead |
| [01:02.39] |
Just enough to make my way |
| [01:06.01] |
Cold and tired when the evening come |
| [01:09.45] |
All I had to ease my mind |
| [01:12.97] |
Was thinking bout the place I started from |
| [01:16.39] |
And the girl that I left behind |
| [01:19.33] |
And that's why I'm going back to my tennessee girl |
| [01:23.55] |
And a tennessee way of life |
| [01:27.48] |
And I'm gonna ask my tennessee girl |
| [01:31.11] |
To be my tennessee wife |
| [01:36.68] |
There ain't no place that I been at all |
| [01:40.26] |
That I would gonna settle in |
| [01:43.89] |
And every town that I travel |
| [01:46.71] |
Through made me wanna go home again |
| [01:51.16] |
The green green grass and the rolling hills |
| [01:54.88] |
Seem to keep a calling me |
| [01:58.67] |
Back to the place where I was born |
| [02:01.89] |
And the girl that I long to see |
| [02:04.83] |
And that's why I'm going back to my tennessee girl |
| [02:09.05] |
And a tennessee way of life |
| [02:13.00] |
And I'm gonna ask my tennessee girl |
| [02:16.66] |
To be my tennessee wife |
| [02:20.42] |
And that's why I'm going back to my tennessee girl |
| [02:23.75] |
And a tennessee way of life |
| [02:27.64] |
And I'm gonna ask my tennessee girl |
| [02:31.29] |
To be my tennessee wife |
