| I talked to your sister last night on the telephone
|
| You know she always thought pretty well of me
|
| She said that the wedding went fine and you were up in New York on your
|
| Honeymoon
|
| Tonight I’m down, in Tennessee
|
| I got that letter you wrote, it tore me up
|
| But I don’t have anyone to blame but me
|
| I had it all for a while but like everything else, I messed it up
|
| Tonight I’m down, in Tennessee
|
| It’s blue tonight and getting bluer
|
| But I’m in the state that I deserve to be
|
| Without you I just can’t see things ever looking up for me
|
| I’m so down, in Tennessee
|
| I hope you’re happy with him, he’s a lucky man
|
| I hope he gives you that home and family
|
| I just want to say if by chance you are ever this way, look me up
|
| I’ll be down, in Tennessee
|
| It’s blue tonight and getting bluer
|
| But I’m in the state that I deserve to be
|
| Without you I just can’t see things ever looking up for me
|
| I’m so down, in Tennessee
|
| I’m so down, in Tennessee
|
| I’m gonna be down, in Tennessee |
