Fancy cars and diamond rings,
I seen all kinds of shiny things,
I should be feelin’ like a king,
But lord I don’t.
Great big towns, so full of users.
Make a million, still a loser.
Some may bet on you to win,
Most hope you won’t.
Livin’ wild, ain’t no mercy being free,
When it brings you to your knees.
Can’t keep lying.
I see the road now,
I know just what I need,
To find my way back to Tennessee.
I’m going home now,
To Southern, is so sweet,
And find my way back to Tennessee
I was only seventeen,
I lived behind my beauty queen,
I turned my back on everything,
And everyone.
Rooms with lots of pretty faces,
Still don’t fill the empty spaces,
Wanderin’ where Amazing Grace is,
There is none, no.
Now I know, there’s no comfort in this world.
God I miss that hometown girl,
Want to hold her.
I’m on the road now,
I know just what I need,
To find my way back to Tennessee.
I’m coming home now,
To Southern, is so sweet,
And find my way back to Tennessee
All this time I was chasing after dreams,
It was right in front of me,
I was lost without her.
I’m on the road now,
I know just what I need,
To find my way back to Tennessee.
I’m coming home now,
To Southern, is so sweet,
And find my way back to you and me,
Find my way back to Tennessee.
