 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
