Johnny Cash - You and Tennessee lyrics
[Johnny Cash - You and Tennessee lyrics]
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
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
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
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
