Dailey & Vincent - Let's Sing Some Country!

I'll Leave My Heart In Tennessee

Red barn roof peekin' over a field of yellow
Smell the sweet honeysuckle in the air, hear a milk cow bellow
Tennessee Walker runnin' by, man, he sure is pretty
I feel sorry for those poor folks stuck livin' in the city

And I thank God I'm a native son
But I love this place as much as anyone
My soul's goin' to heaven when they bury me
But I'll leave my heart in Tennessee

Fieldstone shinin' like diamonds on the hills and pastures
Thing's 'round here move slow but they're gonna get faster
Bulldozin' farms and fences in the name of progress
Damn those developers, they're cold and heartless

'Cause when that train starts rollin' on down that track
What it's haulin' ain't comin' back
This land and life will be a memory
And all the things I love about Tennessee

It's in my marrow, it's in my blood
It's who I am, it's what I love
I'd stay right here everyday I could
And my Tennessee life's sure been good

I love the green, green grass of home and the white church steeples
The rivers and the creeks and the colorful people
Nothin' like a sunset fadin' low in a pink sky
Yeah, singin' "How Great Thou Art" with a tear in my eye

Oh I thank God I'm a native son
But I love this place as much as anyone
My soul's goin' to Heaven when they bury me
But I'll leave my heart in Tennessee

It's in my marrow, it's in my blood
It's who I am, it's what I love
I'd stay right here everyday I could
And my Tennessee life's sure been good

Yeah, my soul's goin' to Heaven for eternity
But I'll leave my heart in Tennessee
Oh and I'll leave my heart in Tennessee
