Tennessee Highway, Tennessee highway
Take me home to see my Texas baby
Tennessee Highway, Tennessee highway
Take me home to see my Texas baby
I’ve been in and out of every bar here in Nashville
Seen nothing but broken promises and empty dreams
Everyone here thinks they’re on the verge of stardom
But nothing here is what it seems
Tennessee highway, Tennessee highway
Take me home to see my Texas baby
Tennessee highway, Tennessee highway
Take me home to see my Texas baby
Now the Grand Ole Opry ain’t playin in the Ryman
They moved it out of town down the road a little ways
They say it’s the same but I know something different
From old Hank Williams’ days
Tennessee highway, Tennessee highway
Take me home to see my Texas baby
Tennessee Highway, Tennessee highway
Take me home to see my Texas baby
This motel room is filled with songs that don’t ring true
Doing what I love don’t make sense like it used to
Deep down inside I guess I always knew
This Tennessee road leads back to you
Tennessee highway, Tennessee highway
Take me home to see my Texas baby
Tennessee Highway, Tennessee highway
Take me home to see my Texas baby
Tennessee highway, Tennessee highway
Take me home to see my Texas baby
