Charley Pride - Tennessee Girl lyrics

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... 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 gra** 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... I'm going back...
