Tennessee

You're right I know

But give me back what's mine before I go

Things break and that's fine

But broken things are better left behind

And you're that thing of mine

You were Tennessee

And the whiskey's just a little too strong for me

Oh, I've tried to be someone I'll never be

For you, Tennessee

Last call, drink up

You were the cowboy that just had to try his luck

Said I'm strawberry wine, so damn sweet

And now I'm a little drunk, so let me speak

Before I change my mind

You were Tennessee

And the whiskey's just a little too strong for me

Oh, I've tried to be someone I'll never be

For you, Tennessee

For you, Tennessee

For you, Tennessee

Damn you, Tennessee

When I left, I left a little part of me

But now I know that I don't need

You, Tennessee

You, Tennessee

You, Tennessee
