Tennessee oh what I'd give to be back there once again with all the old friends
Who were so kind to me oh Tennessee I was happy as could be
Never got too much done but livin' sure was fun in Tennessee
This big city just depresses me though everybody's as kind as can be
A homesick feeling possesses me I won't be the same till I'm back there again
Tennessee guess the country boy in me
Won't ever be at ease till I feel that southern breeze in Tennessee
I won't ever be at ease till I feel that southern breeze in Tennessee
Who were so kind to me oh Tennessee I was happy as could be
Never got too much done but livin' sure was fun in Tennessee
This big city just depresses me though everybody's as kind as can be
A homesick feeling possesses me I won't be the same till I'm back there again
Tennessee guess the country boy in me
Won't ever be at ease till I feel that southern breeze in Tennessee
I won't ever be at ease till I feel that southern breeze in Tennessee
