Tennessee |
| I got a cool head doin' alright |
| But I been up here so long I was starving |
| For some hot spells, summer lights |
| Shinin' on your back roads |
| Tennessee |
| Somebody hit me hard |
| Right in my own backyard |
| Somebody put a hope lock on my heart |
| Runnin' down your back roads |
| Tennessee |
| Oh you got the banjos |
| And they play real slow |
| Not to me, not to me |
| I never heard such rock and roll |
| As on your back roads |
| Tennessee |
| Now I know you’re not to blame |
| But you know that you should have |
| Told me |
| That I would never be the same |
| After riding down your back roads |
| Tennessee |
| Somebody held me tight |
| Somebody tried to fight |
| Somebody raced out in the night |
| Runnin' down your back roads |
| Tennessee |
| Oh you kissed the soul of a rebel |
| In a Yankee girl |
| You got to me |
| I heard you callin' 'round the world |
| From your back roads |
| Tennessee |
| I saw somebody standin' |
| In a field with a crutch |
| Behind his rich southern daddy |
| With a Midas touch |
| They said be outta here by sundown |
| They said good luck |
| You might say I was the stranger |
| Who knew too much |
| Somebody took a hope lock from my heart |
| And threw it down your back roads |
| Tennessee |
| Oh you feel the north wind blow |
| That’s only me |
| I want to hear some rock and roll |
| On your back roads |
| Tennessee |
| I’m not the bad city girl |
| Come down to rape you |
| I’m not the hometown queen |
| Who wants to save you |
| I heard you callin' to my soul |
| From your back roads |
| Tennessee |
