I've seen rocky mountains and great lakes
Stood beneath the redwood tree
But wherever I go my heart aches
For a place called Tennessee
Oh, I wanna be
Where the whiskey flows like wine and the meth labs are devine
Oh, come with me
Cotton grows as tall as oaks and it's picked by poor black folks
N/C
That's Tennessee
It's a place where dualling banjos play
Where the mountain folk run free
Where the kids can all spell 'K K K'
But can not spell Tennessee
Oh, I wanna be
Where the Hatchie river flows and the kids have 13 toes
Oh, come with me
Where the hotdogs are deep fried - that's the reason Elvis died
N/C
In Tennessee
Cold winds whisper and the willows weep
Let some romantic dream come true
Where that special feeling way down deep
When your sister says, "I do"
Oh, I wanna be
Where the baptist preachers shout that if you're gay, you best get out
Oh, come with me
Where hospitality's the thing, just as Martin Luther King
N/C
Shot in Tennessee
- - - -
Oh, I wanna see
Mountain Dew in every cup, and all the dentists just gave up
Oh, come with me
In my flat-bed pick-up truck; that's where the classy ladies fuck
N/C
In Tennessee
Oh, in Tennessee
