Good Ole Tennessee
Sometimes it’s not so easy to see, or recall when we thought so easily
Rememberin’ what we were like back then, don't think I was even ten
The world, so big, just there waitin’ for me
I’d run away from home, on my own (with a note sayin’)
I’m leavin’ today to see things I need to see (so)
Mom n dad
Please don't worry
For me
I left in a hurry, but you-know
I won’t leave you
And good ole, good ole Tennessee
Yeah I’m alone but I’ll be okay, ‘cause I heard of a town today
Called Disco and dad says it’s dead, and under the Lord’s lock and key
I wanna see Paris the most, to get a look at real FRENCH fries up close
Yeah, it’s the ramblin’ life for me
I’m leavin’ today to see things I need to see (so)
Mom n dad
Please don't worry
For me
I left in a hurry, but you-know
I won’t leave you
And good ole, good ole Tennessee
But by the time I hit the edge of town, with darkness closing all around
I looked up and saw a bright sign, yeah, Dairy Queen was callin’ supper time
Next thing I’m at home in our kitchen with a plate full of fried chicken and a note saying…
“Son, no matter where you go, we know your heart will never leave us and goold ole Tennessee”
So Please don't worry
For us
We know you left in a hurry, but we know
You won’t leave us
And good ole, good ole Tennessee
