Lyrics:
We were the War Children
Born 1945
When all the soldiers came marching home
Love looks in their eye
Tennessee Tennessee Williams
Let your
and everyone
Say you'll do it but never will
You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes
You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes
and everyone
Say you'll do it but never will
You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes
You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes
from being too far gone
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
And honey, I
Back about eighteen and twenty five
I left Tennessee very much alive
I never would've made it through the Arkansas mud
If I hadn't been riding
Back about eighteen and twenty five
I left Tennessee very much alive
I never would've made it through the Arkansas mud
If I hadn't been riding
to Tennessee Jed
Rich man step on my poor head
When you get back you better butter my bread
Well, do you know it's like I said
You better head back
Along about eighteen twenty-five
I left Tennessee very much alive
And I never would have gotten through the Arkansas mud
If I hadn't been a-ridin
A country girl in Paris, moonlight on the Seine
Memories of Tennessee, Nashville in the rain
It's such a contradiction, a heart that's filled with
I was born across the river
In the mountains where I call home
Lord, times were good there
Don't know why I ever roamed
Oh, Tennessee River
What a fool I was
What a thin disguise
Brando mumble
Mingus eyes
Was a time she fell
But then she got wise
Brando mumble
And Mingus eyes
some
To know that I come from the state of Tennessee
Let's give old Tennessee credit for music
As they play it up in Nashville every day
Let's give
I was waltzing with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz
When an old friend I happened to see
I introduced her to my loved one and while they were
bugs on a string
And chase the glowin' fireflies when evenin' shadows fall
In my Tennessee mountain home
Life is as peaceful as a baby's sigh
In my
As an insulation against the darkness
Let's go down to Madeleine Street
Talk about Tennessee Williams and be so cool
Or fall in love on Madeleine Street
Love is
Tennesee, oh what I'd give to be back there
Once again with all the old friends
Who were so kind to me oh Tennessee
I was happy as could be
I was born across the river
In the mountains where I call home
Lord, times were good there
Don't know why I ever roamed
Oh, Tennessee River
Wish that I was on ol' Rocky Top
Down in the Tennessee hills
Ain't no smoggy smoke up on Rocky Top
Ain't no telephone bills
Once I had a girl
And maybe Marlon Brando
Will be there by the fire
We'll sit and talk of Hollywood
And the good things there for hire
And the Astrodome and the first tepee
And maybe Marlon Brando
Will be there by the fire
We'll sit and talk of Hollywood
And the good things there for hire
And the Astrodome and the first tepee
The crowd pleasers have arrived
And say they've got me on their minds
The trapeze artists are in full swing
Doing all they're favorite things
I'm
To sleep with Pocahontas
And find out how she felt in the mornin'
On the fields of green in the homeland
We've never seen
And maybe Marlon Brando
Will be
You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes
