Tennessee Girl - Charley Pride
Written by：Ben Peters
Well I left home at a crack of dawn just about a year ago
I thumbed my way cross the USA and I learned a lot
I didn't know
The Primised Land that
I thought I'd find was always just ahead of me
Until one day when I realized I left it back in Tennessee
And that's why I'm going back to my Tennessee girl
And a Tennessee way of life
And I'm gonna ask my Tennessee girl to be my Tennessee wife
Tonight I slept in a hobo camp workin' out like dog by day
I never got enough to get ahead just enough to make my way
Cold and tired when the evening come all I had to ease my mind
Was thinkin' 'bout the place I started from and the girl that
I left behind
And that's why I'm going back to my Tennessee girl
And a Tennessee way of life
And I'm gonna ask my Tennessee girl to be my Tennessee wife
There ain't no place that I been at all that
I would gonna settle in
And every town that I travel through made me wanna go home again
The green green grass
And the rollin' hills seem to keep a callin' me
Back to the place where I was born and the girl that
I long to see
And that's why I'm going back to my Tennessee girl
And a Tennessee way of life
And I'm gonna ask my Tennessee girl to be my Tennessee wife
I'm going back to my Tennessee girl
And a Tennessee way of life
And I'm gonna ask my Tennessee girl to be my Tennessee wife
