[Intro]

[Verse 1]

[0:27] Oh Tennessee, life was not what you promised me
[0:36] But now that I’m gone, I finally can see
[0:46]You were more, much more, oh Tennessee.

[Verse 2]

[0:56] I’ve grown to realize I made a big mistake,
[1:05] Leaving my true love in your beautiful state,
[1:14] Oh, Tennessee I’m coming back, I can’t wait.

[Refrain]

[1:25] Why I chose to leave her I don’t know
[1:29] Afraid to settle down or let my feelings show.

[Chorus]

[1:38] Tennessee is where I found my true love.
[1:47] It’s where I’ll settle blessed by God above.
[1:56] And marry under stars in a dogwood grove.

[Refrain]

[2:25] Why I chose to leave her I don’t know
[2:29] Afraid to settle down or let my feelings show.

[Chorus]

[2:38] Tennessee is where I found my true love.
[2:47] It’s where I’ll settle blessed by God above.
[2:56] And marry under stars in a dogwood grove.
