That big river's still rollin' through Memphis And on Beale street they still play the blues The smokie's still wear their halos It's heaven on earth in the mornin' dew They still make Jack Daniels in Lynchburg On the Opry, Mr Acuff's still keen You can get the best biscuits and gravy And Loretta can still really sing But there's no love in Tennessee At least not the kind I really need The folks here will gladly give you a helpin' hand But they can't help me get you back again There's no love in Tennessee I know it's a beautiful place to be But without you here with me There's no love in Tennessee Remember up on look out mountain Our future seemed so clear Too bad, Colorado came between us Now I'll lookin' out through these tears But I still love the magic of Dixie Whoever said it gets in your blood, was right There's still no place better than home sweet home But there's somethin' missin' tonight There's no love in Tennessee At least not the kind I really need The folks here will gladly give you a helpin' hand But they can't help me get you back again There's no love in Tennessee I know it's a beautiful place to be But without you here with me There's no love in Tennessee There's no love in Tennessee At least not the kind I really need The folks here will gladly give you a helpin' hand But they can't help me get you back again There's no love in Tennessee
