Charley Pride - Tennessee Girl lyrics

Well I left home at a crack of
Dawn just about a year ago
I thumbed my way cross the USA and
I learned a lot I didn't know
The Primised Land that I thought I'd find
Was always just ahead of me
Until one day when I realized I
Left it back in Tennessee
And that's why I'm going
Back to my Tennessee
Girl and a Tennessee way of life
And I'm gonna ask my Tennessee girl
To be my Tennessee wife

Tonight I slept in a hobo camp
Workin' out like dog by day
I never got enough to get ahead
Just enough to make my way
Cold and tired when the evening come all
I had to ease my mind
Was thinkin' bout the place I started from
And the girl that I left behind
And that's why I'm going back

There ain't no place that I been at
All that I would gonna settle in
And every town that I travel through
Made me wanna go home again
The green green grass and the rollin' hills
Seem to keep a callin' me
Back to the place where I was born and
The girl that I long to see
And that's why I'm going back
I'm going back
