Lyrics
TENNESSEE
There's a lady back in Tennessee
She does her thing and she waits for me
She makes coffee every morning
And a cup of tea, she makes a home and a life.
I tell her one day baby when our ship comes in
We'll spend our days alive and livin' in sin
When we get old we can walk through
The streets and forget about trouble and strife.
Dreaming is for dreamers
Search for something to believe
If you don't like reality
At least you've got faith
something to hold on to
There was a place in another time
Where I had my share of the women and wine
And one day it all just goes away
And leaves you and your youth behind
It's a bitch getting old but I won't ever begin
Worrying about the way
things might have been
The best I ever had is waiting for me
I'm going back to Tennessee.
Dreaming is for dreamers
Search for something to believe
If you don't like reality
At least you've got faith
something to hold on to
There's a lady back in Tennessee
She does her thing and she waits for me
She makes coffee every morning
And a cup of tea, she makes a home and a life.
I'm going back to Tennessee
Dreaming is for dreamers
Search for something to believe
If you don't like reality
At least you've got faith
something to hold on to
