Charley Pride "Tennessee Girl" |
(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... Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
