(Ben Peters)

Well, I left home at a crack of dawn
Just about a year ago
I thumbed my way 'cross the USA
And I learned a lot I didn't know.

The Primised Land that I thought I'd find
Was always just ahead of me
Until one day when I realized
I left it back in Tennessee.

And that's why I'm going back to my Tennessee girl
And a Tennessee way of life
And I'm gonna ask my Tennessee girl
To be my Tennessee wife.

Tonight I slept in a hobo camp
Workin' out like a dog by day
I never got enough to get ahead
Just enough to make my way.

Cold and tired when the evening come
All I had to ease my mind
Was thinkin' 'bout the place I started from
And the girl that I left behind.

And that's why I'm going back to my Tennessee girl
And a Tennessee way of life
And I'm gonna ask my Tennessee girl
To be my Tennessee wife.

There ain't no place that I been at all
That I would gonna settle in
And every town that I travel through
Made me wanna go home again.

The green, green grass and the rollin' hills
Seem to keep a callin' me
Back to the place where I was born
And the girl that I long to see.

And that's why I'm going back to my Tennessee girl
And a Tennessee way of life
And I'm gonna ask my Tennessee girl
To be my Tennessee wife.

I'm going back to my Tennessee girl
And a Tennessee way of life
And I'm gonna ask my Tennessee girl
To be my Tennessee wife...
