Fancy cars and diamond rings I seen all kinds of shiny things I should be feelin' like a king But lord I don't Great big towns, so full of users Make a million, still a loser Some may bet on you to win Most hope you won't Livin' wild, ain't no mercy being free When it brings you to your knees Can't keep lying I've seen the road now I know just what I need To find my way back to Tennessee I'm going home now To Southern, is so sweet And find my way back to Tennessee I was only seventeen I lived behind my beauty queen I turned my back on everything And everyone Rooms with lots of pretty faces Still don't fill the empty spaces Wanderin' where Amazing Grace is There is none, no Now I know, there's no comfort in this world God I miss that hometown girl Want to hold her I'm on the road now I know just what I need To find my way back to Tennessee I'm coming home now To Southern, is so sweet And find my way back to Tennessee All this time I was chasing after dreams It was right in front of me I was lost without her I'm on the road now I know just what I need To find my way back to Tennessee I'm coming home now To Southern, is so sweet And find my way back to you and me Find my way back to Tennessee
