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