When I was a boy I didn't know nothin'
Didn't have a care in the world
I had innocence and ignorance of things
I wish I still did not know
But no matter how far these songs take me
If my dreams come true
Oh the heart aches break me
No matter where I make my bed
I long for you
Tenn - ess - ee
Tenn - ess - ee
I was born here and raised here 'nd
I will make my grave here
It's home
Tenn - essee
We've all got a story frozen in time
People and places  livin' and dyin'
The heart beats and breathe and just tryin'
To make sense of it all
I am the second born of my mother and father
He's a lion hearted man
She's a Jesus lovin' woman
And no matter how far I roam I always belong
(To) Tenn - ess - ee
Tenn - ess - ee
I was born here and raised
Here 'nd I will make my grave here
It's home
Tenn - essee
It's not just geography
It's a part of me  the air I breathe
And we've got a history
And the blood runs through
Tenn - ess - ee
Tenn - ess - ee
Tenn - ess - ee
Tenn - ess - ee
I was born here and raised
Here 'nd I will make my grave here
It's home
Tenn - essee
