I will hold my home so dear,
Here in Tennessee
Safe from all my darkest fears,
Here in Tennessee
Here in Tennessee, darlin'
Here in Tennessee

Appalachian mountains stand,
Next to the Cumberland,
Here in Tennesee
Spring will bend to summers will,
Here in Tennessee
Fall will break in winters chill,
Here in Tennessee
Here in Tennessee, darlin'
Here in Tennessee

I hope you'll be there for me, hey
Pictures make me think of you,
Here in Tennessee
I'd like to think you missed me too
Here in Tennessee
Here in Tennessee, darlin'

Here in Tennessee
Here in Tennessee, darlin'
Here in Tennessee
