Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Fancy cars and diamond rings, I

Seen all kinds of shiny things, I

Should be feelin' like a king but, Lord, I don't

[Verse 2]

Great big towns, so full of users

Make a million, still a loser

Some'll bet on you to win, most hope you won't

[PreChorus]

Livin' wild, ain't no mercy bein' free

When it brings you to your knees

Can't keep lyin'

[Chorus]

I've seen the road now

I know just what I need

To find my way back to Tennessee

I'm goin' home now

To Southern, is so sweet

And find my way back to Tennessee

[Verse 3]

When I was only seventeen, I

Left behind my beauty queen, I

Turned my back on everything and everyone

[Verse 4]

Rooms with lots of pretty faces

Still don't fill the empty spaces

Wonderin' where amazin' grace is, there is none, no

[PreChorus]

Now I know there's no comfort in this world

God, I miss that hometown girl

Want to hold her

[Chorus]

I'm on the road now

I know just what I need

To find my way back to Tennessee

I'm comin' home now

To Southern, is so sweet

And find my way back to Tennessee

[Bridge]

All this time I was chasin' after dreams

It was right in front of me

I was lost without her

[Chorus]

I'm on the road now

I know just what I need

To find my way back to Tennessee

I'm comin' home now

To Southern, is so sweet

And find my way back to you and me

Find my way back to Tennessee
