Lyrics:

It's a big estate 
With wrought iron gates 
And palm trees standin' tall 
Fancy mirrors and chandeliers 
Comfort wall to wall 
And the ocean air is so crisp and clear 
And they rave about our view 

But there ain't no mountain breeze 
And there ain't no hickory trees 
And this ain't Tennessee 
And she ain't you 

There's a bedroom suite 
Where she comes to me 
And as her fingers touch my face 
I close my eyes and I fantasize 
Of another time and place 
What she feels is so warm and real 
And I know her love is true 
And she tries so hard to please 
Still I think sometimes she sees 
That this ain't Tennessee 
And she ain't you 

It's not that it's not good enough 
And it's not that I'm not man enough 
There's just somethin' easy goin' that I love 
About you and Tennessee 

So I made my mind up to learn my lines 
And to try to play the part 
But part of me is in Tennessee 
And deep down in my heart 
I miss my Smoky Mountain home 
And I miss your lovin' too 
And it's deep inside of me 
And it's always gonna be 
'Cause this ain't Tennessee 
and she ain't you
