Behind his rich southern daddy
I never heard such rock and roll
Somebody held me tight
That's only me
You might say I was the stranger
Tennessee
But you know that you should have told me
Shinin' on your back roads
Tennessee
I want to hear some rock and roll
I'm not the bad city girl
Not to me, not to me
I heard you callin' 'round the world
Tennessee
Runnin' down your back roads
There aren't any back roads
That I would never be the same
On your back roads
I heard you callin' to my soul
For some hot spells, summer lights
Who wants to save you
Tennessee
Oh, you got to me
Right in my own backyard
I saw somebody standin'
Playin' real slow
Tennessee
Somebody put a hope lock on my heart
Somebody took a hope lock from my heart
As on your back roads
Tennessee
Come down to rape you
From your back roads
Who knew too much
I'm not the hometown queen
And threw it down your back roads
In a field with a crutch
With a Midas touch
Runnin' down your back roads
Oh, you feel the north wind blow
Somebody hit me hard
In a Yankee girl
Somebody raced out in the night
From your back roads
Oh, you kissed the soul of a rebel
They said good luck
Now I know you're not to blame
Tennessee
They said be outta here by sundown
Somebody tried to fight
Oh, you got the banjos
Tennessee
