Lyrics:

Tennessee, oh, what I'd give to be back there once again
With all the old friends who were so kind to me
Oh, Tennessee, I was happy as could be
Never got too much done but living sure was fun in Tennessee
This big city just depresses me
Though everybody's as kind as can be
A homesick feeling possesses me
I won't be the same till I'm back there again

Tennessee, guess the country boy in me
Won't ever be at ease
Till I feel that southern breeze in Tennessee
I won't ever be at ease
Till I feel that southern breeze in Tennessee
