| I never had all the answers |
| I never had enough time |
| But 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 guarantee, things are sweeter in Tennessee |
| These days everything is all business |
| 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 |
| And maybe I was much too selfish but baby you’re still on my mind |
| But now I’m grown and all alone and wishing I was with you tonight |
| 'Cause I can guarantee, things are sweeter in Tennessee, in Tennessee |
| And I’d wish on every star in the southern sky |
| For that man and our life, if I did not think that, oh |
| And maybe I was much too selfish but baby you’re still on my mind |
| And now I’m grown and all alone and wishing I was with you tonight |
| 'Cause I can guarantee, things are sweeter in Tennessee |
| Yes, I can guarantee, things are sweeter in Tennessee |
