We  woke up this morning in a Tulsa calaboose
 They fed us brown beans for breakfast and they had to turn us loose
 I didn’t  like that old sheriff and I wish I had told him so
What  he don’t know won’t hurt me so come on buddy let’s go
 Let’s go to Suddenly,  Suddenly, Suddenly, Suddenly, Suddenly,
Suddenly,  Suddenly, Suddenly,  Tennessee
 Three nights ago in Phoenix a lady bit off your thumb
 But I really shouldn’t call her no a lady causetook the damn thing and run
 Then some old boy from Tucson threw the jukebox straight at me
 And I’m really sorry it landed on the spot where your thumb used to be
 It’ll heal in Suddenly, Suddenly, Suddenly, Suddenly, Suddenly, Suddenly, Suddenly,
 Suddenly, Tennessee
 I tell you something old beauty you look a terrible mess
 It’s time you took off your blue jeans and got yourself in a dress
 And wash and comb that blond hair and jumped off this train with me
 'cause we're just five minutes from talking to the folks in Suddenly
 Talking about Suddenly, Suddenly, Suddenly, Suddenly, Suddenly, Suddenly, Suddenly,
 Suddenly, Tennessee
