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