Franklin Tenessee Lyrics - Marty Robbins

Two years ago I left my home 

Thought I'd make it big but all I've done is wrong 

Planned some things that might impress the home folks 

After two long years I'm still broke 

Up and down the west coast I have been 

From Dego to Seattle and then back here again 

I'd like to get on board the bus and ride 

I can't go back home, I still got my pride 

Here I am in Frisco but my dreams keep takin' me 

Back home to Franklin Tenessee 

There's a place back there I kinda like 

'Bout ten miles from Franklin out on Wilson Pike 

They don't know it but I've wrote and told them lies 

I said I'd made it big but I'm just gettin' by 

I recall when I left my home town 

I remember how I kinda put 'em down 

I even said the town was much too small for me 

And I'd never make it big in Franklin Tenessee 

Here I am in Frisco but my dreams keep takin' me 

Back home to Franklin Tenessee 

Back home to Franklin Tenessee
