Lyrics
I don't need no cowboy boots
I don't need a fancy hat
I don't need no leather jacket
To remind me of where I'm at
Chorus
Just take a look around you
there's only once place this can be
There ain't no where else like
Tennessee Country
It's the home of Country Music
And the start of Rock 'n' Roll
It's the Delta Blues in Memphis
And it's Gospel and Soul
It's got that small town feelin'
And it's big city too
It's got hard workin' people
Ones just like me and you
Chorus
I was born and rased here
And this is where I'll die
They're gonna spread my ashes
Where the Smokies meet the sky
You see I've been all around
This great big world and
There's just one place for me
And it's right back here in
Tennessee Country
