Lyrics of Tennessee

When i was a boy
I didn't know nothing
I didn't have a care in the world
I had innocence and ignorance
Of things i wish i still did not know
But no matter how far these songs take me
If my dreams come true
Or the heartaches break me
No matter where i make my bed
I long for you
Tennessee, tennessee
I was born here and raised here
And i'll make my grave here
It's home, tennessee
We've all got a story frozen in time
People and places of living and dying
Heartbeats and breathing
Just trying to make sense of it all
I am the second-born of my mother and father
These lion-hearted men
She's a jesus-loving woman
And no matter how far i roam
I always belong
To tennessee, tennessee
I was born here and raised here
And i'll make my grave here
It's home, tennessee
It's not just geography, it's a part of me
The air i breathe
And we've got a history
And the blood runs through
Tennessee, tennessee
Tennessee, tennessee
I was born here and raised here
And i'll make my grave here
It's home, tennessee
