Tennessee
I left my home back in the heartland
A place I loved, a place I knew
For a land of milk and honey
A place they said "your dreams will come true."
I bid farewell to broken promises
I bid farewell to that bitter cold
For a land of opportunity
So here I stand in Tennessee
I work all day and do my dreaming
And at night I prove my worth
The bands all play their hits on Broadway
But I miss the songs from 23rd
I bid farewell to friends and family
I bid farewell but they'll be fine
No one said that this would be easy
So here I sit in Tennessee
I still see them every Christmas
The days are short, but we make the time
Sometimes it feels an ocean's between us
But I know it's only Kentucky's state lines
I bid farewell to what I thought I knew
I bid farewell but I'm alright
I can see them, some nights I still can't sleep
So here I lay, here I lay, in Tennessee
A place I loved, a place I knew
For a land of milk and honey
A place they said "your dreams will come true."
I bid farewell to broken promises
I bid farewell to that bitter cold
For a land of opportunity
So here I stand in Tennessee
I work all day and do my dreaming
And at night I prove my worth
The bands all play their hits on Broadway
But I miss the songs from 23rd
I bid farewell to friends and family
I bid farewell but they'll be fine
No one said that this would be easy
So here I sit in Tennessee
I still see them every Christmas
The days are short, but we make the time
Sometimes it feels an ocean's between us
But I know it's only Kentucky's state lines
I bid farewell to what I thought I knew
I bid farewell but I'm alright
I can see them, some nights I still can't sleep
So here I lay, here I lay, in Tennessee
