Lyrics Bobby Goldsboro – Tennessee, You’re A Lady
Text:
Cumberland River
I hear you calling my name
Telling me I should have never tried to roam
Big Smoky Mountains
Your memory is calling me back home
Tennessee, you’re a lady
And you’re always gonna stay a part of me
You’re a kind and gentle lady
And I never will forget you, Tennessee
I took the highway, I had to follow my dreams
And like a fool I let them take me far away
I miss your sunrise, I miss your cool mountain streams
And lady I’ll come back to you someday
Tennessee, you’re a lady
And you’re always gonna stay a part of me
You’re a kind and gentle lady
And I never will forget you, Tennessee
I’ve seen the world now
I’ve learned to sing my own song
But I still see your face in every town
Thought I’d forget you
But now I know I was wrong
You’re the closest thing to heaven that I’ve found
Tennessee, you’re a lady
And you’re always gonna stay a part of me
You’re a kind and gentle lady
And I never will forget you, Tennessee
Tennessee, you’re a lady
And you’re always gonna stay a part of me
And I never will forget you, Tennessee
No, I never will forget you Tennessee
