Lyrics

[00:13.81] I never had all the answers
[00:18.57] I never had enough time
[00:26.38] But I sure had all the reasons
[00:30.27] Why you weren't what I wanted to find
[00:37.52]
[00:38.56] I never laid all my cards out
[00:42.80] You just wanted to play
[00:48.93] The king he waited on my doorstep
[00:54.84] While the joker and me went on our way
[01:01.19]
[01:01.72] Chorus:
[01:02.56] Maybe I was much too selfish
[01:08.34] But baby you're still on my mind
[01:13.26] Now I'm grown and all alone
[01:20.83] And wishing I was with you tonight
[01:25.39] 'Cause I can guarantee
[01:29.68] Things are sweeter in Tennessee
[01:40.68]
[01:44.79] These days everything is all business
[01:50.64] Never in ONE place for too long
[01:56.28] And there's no lack of arms around me
[02:01.56] But I still wonder if somewhere I went wrong
[02:08.21]
[02:09.54] Maybe I was much too selfish
[02:14.98] But baby you're still on my mind
[02:19.18] Now I'm grown and all alone
[02:26.97] And wishing I was with you tonight
[02:33.28] 'Cause I can guarantee
[02:35.77] Things are sweeter in Tennessee
[02:42.79]
[02:46.25] In tennessee
[02:50.70]
[02:52.02] And I'd wish on every star in the
[02:54.20] Southern sky
[02:56.86] For that man and our life
[02:59.91] If I did not think that
[03:02.22]
[03:06.24] Maybe I was much too selfish
[03:12.72] But baby you're still on my mind
[03:16.77] Now I'm grown and all alone
[03:24.07] And wishing I was with you tonight
[03:30.83] 'Cause I can guarantee
[03:33.95] Things are sweeter in Tennessee
[03:40.20]
[03:41.33] Yes, I can guarantee
[03:46.17] Things are sweeter in Tennessee
[03:55.84]
