Stephen Lynch, Courtney Jaye - Tennessee lyrics

[Stephen Lynch, Courtney Jaye - Tennessee lyrics]

I've seen Rocky Mountains and Great Lakes
Stood beneath a redwood tree
But wherever I go my heart aches
For a place called Tennessee oh come with me
Where the whiskey flows like wine
And the meth labs are divine oh, I wanna be
Where the sweet tobacco grows
And is picked by poor Negroes in Tennessee
Oh it's a place where dueling banjos play
And the mountain folk run free
Where all the children can spell KKK
But cannot spell Tennessee oh come with me
Where every cheek is filled with chew
And no one's ever seen a Jew oh, I wanna be
Where the hot dogs are deep fried
That's the reason Elvis died in Tennessee
Oh come with me
Where the Baptist preachers shout
That if you're gay you best get out
Oh, I wanna be where hospitality's the thing
Just ask Martin Luther King
Shot in Tennessee
The birth place of Aretha Queen of Soul
BB King and Al Gore
I'm not saying it's a shit hole
But they don't live there anymore
Oh, I wanna see mountain Dew in every cup
And all the dentists just gave up
Oh come with me on my flat bed pickup truck
That's where the classy ladies fuck
In Tennessee oh in Tennessee
