Lyrics
My Tennessee
Written by Jim Chase & Bill Chase
I just had to sing a love song to my Tennessee
Home to the old hillbilly way
There ain't no place this good ol' country boy would rather be
I know I'm gonna live here all my days
Soaking up the sunshine
Cool breeze, homemade wine
Hanging out, catching fish all day.
On the vine there's muscadine
Have a sip of fine moonshine
You'll have good reason to say
I just had to sing a love song to my Tennessee
Home to the old hillbilly way
There ain't no place this good ol' country boy would rather be
I know I'm gonna live here all my days
Play my old guitar and sing
Songs with a country twang
Smoky Mountain air is sweet and clear
Sit and watch the moon rise
Got a catfish on my line
There's no place I'd rather be than here
Singing a love song to my Tennessee
Home to the old hillbilly way
There ain't no place this good ol' country boy would rather be
I know I'm gonna live here all my days
Instrumental
Play my old guitar and sing
Songs with a country twang
Smoky Mountain air is sweet and clear
Sit and watch the moon rise
Got a catfish on my line
There's no place I'd rather be than here
Singing a love song to my Tennessee
Home to the old hillbilly way
There ain't no place this good ol' country boy would rather be
I know I'm gonna live here all my days
And sing love songs to my Tennessee
