Lyrics for Song: Tennessee Homesick Blues
Lyrics for Album: Essential
New york city ainÂ’t no kind of place
For a country girl with a friendly face
If you smile people look at you funny
They take it wrong
The greenest state in the land of the free
And the home of the grand ole opry
Is calling me back to my smoky mountain home
I wish I had my old fishinÂ’ pole
And was sitting on the banks of the fishing hole
Eating green apples and waiting for the fish to bite
Life ainÂ’t as simple as it used to be
Since the big apple took a bite out of me
And lord, IÂ’m so tennessee homesick that I could die
Chorus:
But I ainÂ’t been home in I donÂ’t know when
If I had it all to do over again
Tonight IÂ’d sleep in my old feather bed
What I wouldnÂ’t give for a little bitty taste
Of mamaÂ’s homemade chocolate cake
Tennessee homesick blues running through my head
Mama you can fluff my feather bed
Just as soon as I can IÂ’m gonna head
Back to the tennessee hills and it better be soon
Daddy you can load the rifles up
WeÂ’re gonna load them dogs on the pickup truck
And take off to calhoun country and catch us a coon
Repeat chorus
EatinÂ’ grits and gravy and country ham
Go to church on sunday with dinner on the grounds
Tennessee homesick blues are runninÂ’ through my head
Repeat chorus
Good lord have mercy on a country girl
TryinÂ’ to make a living in a rhinestone world
ItÂ’s hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world
With tennessee homesick blues runninÂ’ through my head
IÂ’ve got those tennessee homesick blues runninÂ’ through my head
Tennessee homesick blues
