Tennessee
S. Colvin/J. Leventhal 

         I got a cool head doin' alright
         But I been up here so long I was starving
         For some hot spells, summer lights
         Shinin' on your back roads
         Tennessee

         Somebody hit me hard
         Right in my own backyard
         Somebody put a hope lock on my heart
         Runnin' down your back roads 
         Tennessee

         Oh you got the banjos
         And they play real slow
         Not to me, not to me
         I never heard such rock and roll
         As on your back roads
         Tennessee 

         Now I know you're not to blame
         But you know that you should have
         told me
         That I would never be the same
         After riding down your back roads
         Tennessee

         Somebody held me tight
         Somebody tried to fight
         Somebody raced out in the night
         Runnin' down your back roads
         Tennessee

         Oh you kissed the soul of a rebel
         In a Yankee girl
         You got to me
         I heard you callin' 'round the world
         From your back roads
         Tennessee

         I saw somebody standin'
         In a field with a crutch
         Behind his rich southern daddy
         With a Midas touch
         They said be outta here by sundown
         They said good luck
         You might say I was the stranger
         Who knew too much

         Somebody took a hope lock from my heart
         And threw it down your back roads
         Tennessee

         Oh you feel the north wind blow
         That's only me
         I want to hear some rock and roll
         On your back roads
         Tennessee

         I'm not the bad city girl
         Come down to rape you
         I'm not the hometown queen
         Who wants to save you
         I heard you callin' to my soul
         From your back roads
         Tennessee
