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