Tennessee

Oh me oh me
Im going to Tennessee
The hills are so much greener there I’m sure
Oh me oh me
Im leaving this country
There’s nothing left for me here anymore

And the broken roads reflect the skies
My mind and all politician’s lies
And life seems much too polite to move along

I don’t care enough to love or despise
All I do is compromise
There’s not much around here that I can do wrong

Oh me oh me…

And the dads at home wander and roam
To see what needs repair
And being idle can be worse than being alone
And the mothers cry to be occupied
And they’re left alone in the winter nights
With their minds and the love of a child to keep them going

Oh me oh me…
Get me out of here I just can’t bare
And I’ll go anywhere
With no care at all I’ll find a man with a southern drawl
Who closes his eyes when he plays a steel guitar…

Oh me oh me…
