Marty Robbins - Franklin, Tennessee lyrics

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 Tennessee

There's a place back there I kinda like
'Bout ten miles from Franklin
Out on Wilson-five
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 Tennessee

Here I am in Frisco but
My dreams keep takin' me
Back home to Franklin Tennessee
Back home to Franklin Tennessee
