| I’m going down to Lebanon, Tennessee
|
| From where I stand it’s as good a place as any
|
| I don’t know anybody there
|
| And nobody knows me
|
| There’ll be a job in Lebanon, Tennessee
|
| I’ll work on a farm, I’ll work in some factory
|
| And I’ll buy myself a home down there
|
| You can get one pretty cheap
|
| Get off the bus on the border of town
|
| Head in from the east
|
| Walk into a bar take a seat in the corner
|
| Be a man of mystery
|
| Folks don’t treat you mean in Lebanon, Tennessee
|
| But like a human being, they’ll take you in off the street
|
| They’ll bring you in their home down there
|
| And give you something to eat |
