I never had all the answers
I never had enough time
I sure had all the reasons
Why you weren't what I wanted to find
I never laid all my cards out
You just wanted to play
The king, he waited on my doorsteps
While the joker and me went on our way
Maybe I was much too selfish
But baby, you're still on my mind
Now I'm grown and all alone
And wishing I was with you tonight
Cause I can gurantee
Things are sweeter in Tennessee
These days everything is all business
I'm never in one place for too long
But there's no lack of arms around me
But I still wonder, if somewhere I went wrong
Maybe I was much too selfish
But baby, you're still on my mind
Now I'm grown and all alone
And wishing I was with you tonight
Cause I can guarantee
Things are sweeter in Tennessee
And I'd wish on ever star in the southern sky
For that man in our life
If I did not think that
Oh, maybe I was much too selfish
But baby, you're still on my mind
Now I'm grown and all alone
And wishing I was with you tonight
Cause I can guarantee
Things are sweeter in Tennessee
Cause I can guarantee
Things are sweeter in Tennessee
