You And Tennessee Lyrics - Johnny Cash

Like a sweet rippling mountain stream 

Goes the sound of the banjo on Cripple Creek 

Never beginning never ending just rippling on and on 

So does the land just ripple on and on 

As a heart gets soft on a woman so can the heart get soft on the land 

And to fall in love with a woman as well as the land is to surely be in love 

I stayed away too long I know and every day was slow to go 

Every night I dreamed I was here it's been a mighty lonely year 

Every mile I needed you I kinda hope that you needed me too 

Everywhere I saw your face around every town I was in 

This old familiar place welcomed me again 

Back to where I belonged to be back to you and Tennessee 

Back to you and Tennessee

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

Beside the Cumberland River where the grass is soft and sweet 

We ran across the fields of cedar hiding from the noisy streets 

And when the leaves fell from the cold the stars were silver the moon was gold 

I said it's yours with love from me 

I'm planting my roots in this ground and when they look for me I'll be found 

With something that is part of me you and Tennessee 

Back with you and Tennessee
