I come up here from Waco on a U-Hault-It freight In my mind Tennessee to me was just another state Now we're trying to get into how they're swinging on the gate I'm about to go down under from that hurry up and wait
Don't you roll me another one, don't try to mother me I know I can't see the forest but I think I feel the trees Anyway, goin's where I guess I'm always gonna be I declare I feel like Texas when I'm uphere Tennessee
I done built myself a highway on this ceilin' in the hall Over yonder in the corner gettin' turned on by the wall Come the mornin' that old dawnin' will be drinkin' up like me Ain't no holler log what I came off when I get up a tree
Don't you roll me another one, don't try to mother me I know I can't see the forest but I think I feel the trees Anyway, goin's where I guess I'm always gonna be I declare I feel like Texas when I'm uphere Tennessee
