Tennessee

Sunset on the mountain, a half moon in the sky

North star was rising slowly, shining in my eye

Tennessee was glowing, misty brown and green

We were all united singing to the land

We were singing

We ain't got no diamond-studded Cadillacs

We ain't got no furry minks across our backs

We don't worry about the things that we can't see

We got all we need, we got Tennessee

Joe's got rice and turkey, Mac's got bread and wine

We got something special toking, good old Tennessee vine

Sitting by the fire, fiddle in my hand

Talking about the times we had, singing to the land

We were singing

We ain't got no diamond-studded Cadillacs

We ain't got no furry minks across our backs

We don't worry about the things that we can't see

We got all we need, we got Tennessee

Darkness falls behind me, crickets join in song

Red bird on the wire chirping says to me so long

Snow drifts crowns behind me above the lofty pine

Soon I'll be home dreaming, Smokey's by my side

Yeah, yeah

We ain't got no diamond-studded Cadillacs

We ain't got no furry minks across our backs

We don't worry about the things that we can't see

We got all we need, we got Tennessee

We got Tennessee

We ain't got no diamond-studded Cadillacs

We ain't got no furry minks across our backs

We don't worry about the things that we can't see

We got all we need, we got Tennessee
