My Tennessee Home



Tennessee is home to me with your beautiful hills and life so free.
From Nashville to Memphis town, fun and good times all abound.
We ride back roads and trudge through mud, go mountain climbing and dance till dawn.
Shadows long in the deepening night, oh how this life feels so right.
Fragrant blossoms
Running streams
Catching catfish
Chasing dreams
County fairs, rocking chairs - holding hands, not having airs
Children with bright red happy faces hiding out in twilights places.
Diamond stars dotting black sky
Brilliant sunrise, birds on high.
Irises blooming righteously in a field.
The End.
