Tennessee Lyrics - Lion - Stephen Lynch

Ive see Rocky Mountains and great lakes, 

Stood beneath the Redwood tree 

But wherever I go my heart aches 

For a place called Tennessee 

[Chorus] 

Oh I wanna be 

Where the whisky flows like wine 

And the meth labs are divine 

Oh, come with me 

Cotton grows tall as oaks 

And its picked by poor black folks 

Thats Tennessee 

Its a place where Duelling Banjos play 

Where the mountain folk run free 

Where all the children can spell KKK 

But cannot spell Tennessee 

[Chorus] 

Oh I wanna be 

Where the Hatchie River flows 

And the kids have thirteen toes 

Oh come with me 

Where the hot dogs are deep fried 

Thats the reason Elvis died in Tennessee 

In Tennessee 

The cool winds whisper and the willows weep 

Like some romantic dream come true 

You get that special feeling way down deep 

When your sister says I do 

[Chorus] 

Oh I wanna be 

Where the Baptist preachers shout 

And if youre gay you best get out 

Oh come with me 

Where hospitalitys the thing 

Just ask Martin Luther King 

Shot in Tennessee 

[Instrumental] 

[Chorus] 

Oh I wanna see 

Mountain Dew in every cup 

And all the dentists just gave up 

Oh come with me 

In my flatbed pickup truck 

Thats where the classy ladies fuck 

In Tennessee 

Woah-oh-oh in Tennesse
