Tennessee

Lyrics

I've seen rocky mountains and great lakes
 Stood beneath a redwood tree
 But wherever I go my heart aches
 For a place called Tennessee
 Oh, come with me
 Where the Whiskey flows like whine
 And the meth labs are divine
 Oh, I wanna be
 Where the sweet tobacco grows
 And it's picked by poor negros
 In Tennessee
 ♪
 Well it's a place where dueling banjos play
 And the mountain folk run free
 Where all the children can spell KKK
 But cannot spell Tennessee
 Oh, come with me
 Where every cheek is filled with chew
 And no one's ever seen a Jew
 Oh, I wanna be
 Where the hot dogs are deep fried
 That's the reason Elvis died
 In Tennessee
 ♪
 Oh, come with me
 Where the baptist preachers shout
 That if you're gay you best get out
 Oh I wanna be
 Where hospitality is the thing
 Just ask Martin Luther King
 Shot in Tennessee
 ♪
 Birthplace of Aretha, queen of soul
 The BB King and Al Gore
 I'm not saying it's a shit hole
 But they don't live there anymore
 Oh, I wanna see
 Mountain dew in every cup
 And all the dentists just gave up
 Oh, come with me
 In my flat bed pickup truck
 That's were the classy ladies fuck
 In Tennessee
 Oh, in Tennessee
