Tennessee

I never had all the answers

I never had enough time

But I sure had all the reasons

Why you weren't what I wanted to find



I never laid all my cards out

You just wanted to play

The king he waited on my doorstep

While the joker and me went on our way



Chorus:

Maybe I was much too selfish

But baby you're still on my mind

Now I'm grown and all alone

And wishing I was with you tonight

'Cause I can guarantee

Things are sweeter in Tennessee



These days everything is all business

Never in ONE place for too long

And there's no lack of arms around me

But I still wonder if somewhere I went wrong



[Chorus]



In tennessee



And I'd wish on every star in the

Southern sky

For that man and our life

If I did not think that



[Chorus]



Yes, I can guarantee

Things are sweeter in Tennessee
