Lyrics
Back In Tennessee
© Mae Tennisco 1996
1.)
Living in New York
Lost in the crowds
Taxis screaming by
Everything was loud
Longing for the country
Back in Tennessee
Found a country bar
That might hold the key
To find me a cowboy
Or perfect substitute
But all I saw were businessmen
Dressed in three-piece suits
Yet the shy one in the corner
Really caught my eye
Joined him in a flash
And now we both know why
CH
He used to live in Texas,
But comes from Tennessee
A twinkle in his eyes
Drawls when he speaks
He may look good in a suit
But better built for cowboy boots
Stetson and guitar
Could be an Opry star
Why old New York
Popping champagne corks
When he could be with me
Back in Tennessee
2.)
Talking and dancing
then walked hand in hand til dawn
All was going right
Nothing going wrong
Bitten by the love bug
It knows where to bite
Felt like we were sparking
Under Tennessee moonlight
In smoggy New York
I never thought I’d be
Back in the saddle
With the cowboy of my dreams
So long New York
You won’t miss him and me
We’re a loving twosome
Back in Tennessee
Ch.
He used to live in Texas,
But comes from Tennessee
A twinkle in his eyes
Drawls when he speaks
He may look good in a suit
But better built for cowboy boots
Stetson and guitar
Could be an Opry star
Why old New York
Popping champagne corks
When he could be with me
Back in Tennessee
Tag
Why old New York
Popping champagne corks
When anyone could be
Back in Tennessee
