I talked to your sister last night on the telephone You know she always thought pretty well of me She said that the wedding went fine And you were up in New York on your honeymoon Tonight I'm down, in Tennessee I got that letter you wrote, it tore me up But I don't have anyone to blame but me I had it all for a while but like everything else I messed it up Tonight I'm down, in Tennessee It's blue tonight and gettin' bluer But I'm in the state that I deserve to be Without you I just can't see things ever looking up for me I'm so down, in Tennessee I hope you're happy with him, he's a lucky man I hope he gives you that home and family I just want to say if by chance you are ever this way, look me up I'll be down, in Tennessee It's blue tonight and getting bluer I'm in the state that I deserve to be Without you I just can't see things ever looking up for me I'm so down, in Tennessee I'm so down, in Tennessee I'm gonna be down, in Tennessee
