Tennessee

JOHNNY CASH · Out Among The Stars 2014 · Track 09 of 12

Written by Richard Scott

Momma I guess you heard I got married Tennessee I got a blue eyed girl Who thinks the world of me

We got a cabin in the country And a creek that rolls near by And a dog won't even bark at a firefly

Our clothes lines hang just outside our back door And theres a tire that swings in the air 10 feet or more Theres a church I can't seem to find on Sunday morning But I sure found the place I belong in

[Chorus:] And we wear blue jeans and big green things Spend the summer time naturally high By, chopping wood for next winters fire Saving our money for the county fair George Jones is supposed to be there We got, forty acres of corn on the ground Tennessee taters we sell by the pound Proud as we can be, to live in Tennessee

Momma you and Dad gotta come stay with us sometime I know you'll love that sweet little gal of mine You and her could take about babies Make some homemade apple pie While me and Dad take a walk maybe talk about old times

[Chorus]
