And maybe I was much too selfish but baby you're still on my mind
But there's no lack of arms around me
'Cause I can guarantee, things are sweeter in Tennessee
You just wanted to play
Maybe I was much too selfish but baby you're still on my mind
Why you weren't what I wanted to find
And maybe I was much too selfish but baby you're still on my mind
These days everything is all business
'Cause I can guarantee, things are sweeter in Tennessee
But I still wonder if somewhere I went wrong
And now I'm grown and all alone and wishing I was with you tonight
While the joker and me went on our way
But now I'm grown and all alone and wishing I was with you tonight
The king, he waited on my doorsteps
I never laid all my cards out
Never in one place for too long
Now I'm grown and all alone and wishing I was with you tonight
For that man and our life, if I did not think that, oh
But I sure had all the reasons
And I'd wish on every star in the southern sky
'Cause I can guarantee, things are sweeter in Tennessee, in Tennessee
