Tennessee |
| I saw the river playing in the valley |
| Rushing 'round a bend and skipping stones |
| I saw the meadow wobble in the moonlight |
| I’ve come to get my girl and take her home |
| Her doorbell plays a bar of Stephen Foster |
| Her sister never left and look what it cost her |
| We’re gonna live in Nashville and I’ll make a career |
| Out of writing sad songs and gettin' paid by the tear |
| Marry me and leave Kentucky |
| Come to Tennessee |
| 'Cause you’re the only ten I see |
| You’re the only ten I see |
| I’ve looked through offices and honky-tonks |
| For men man enough to be |
| Mister, Misses Tennessee |
| Mister, Misses Tennessee |
| Punk rock died when the first kid said |
| «Punk's not dead, punk’s not dead» |
| You know Louisville is death, we’ve got to up and move |
| Because the dead do not improve |
| Goodbye users and suckers and steady bad luckers |
| We’re off to the land of club soda unbridled |
| We’re off to the land of hot middle-aged women |
| Off to the land whose blood runneth orange |
| Marry me and leave Kentucky |
| And come to Tennessee |
| 'Cause you’re the only ten I see |
| You’re the only ten I see |
| I’ve looked through offices and honky-tonks |
| For men man enough to be |
| Mister, Misses Tennessee |
| Mister, Misses Tennessee |
