Lebanon, Tennessee

I'm going down to Lebanon, Tennessee

From where I stand, it's as good a place as any

I don't know anybody there and

Nobody knows me



There'll be a job in Lebanon, Tennessee

I'll work on a farm, I'll work in some factory

And I'll buy myself a home down there

You can get one pretty cheap



Get off the bus on the border of town

Head in from the East

Walk into a bar, take a seat in the corner

Be a man of mystery



Folks don't treat you mean in Lebanon, Tennessee

But like a human being, they'll take you in off the street

They'll bring you in their home down there

and give you something to eat

I'm going down to Lebanon, Tennessee
