Home Sweet Tennessee (New Version)

Verse 1

From a Kentucky farm where the morning sun would rise

To a little Tennessee cabin tucked away in the pines

I’ve walked those dusty Texas trails, felt that Arkansas breeze

But there’s a piece of me back home beneath those Tennessee trees.

I’ve chased a lot of roads, seen a lot of towns

But there’s something ’bout that place that keeps calling me back around.

Every mile I’ve put behind me, every road I’ve ever known

Just keeps reminding me that Tennessee is home.

Chorus

I miss Tennessee, I miss my home

I miss those hills and the places I’ve known.

I miss my buddies, horseshoes in the yard

Sittin’ on the bank, fishin’ after dark.

I miss those nights and the life I used to know

That Tennessee sunset and that old dirt road.

I can do all those things right where I’m at

But it ain’t the same, and I know that’s a fact.

So, I think it’s time I pack my things and go

Head back where my heart’s been all along.

Home sweet home, where I belong

Home sweet Tennessee.

Verse 2

I miss the sound of laughter when the boys would gather round

Cold drink in the cooler, boots kicked off on the ground.

A horseshoe flyin’ through the air, a fire burnin’ low

Talkin’ ’bout the good old days like we had nowhere to go.

I miss that lake at sunset, with a fishing line in hand

Those quiet little moments only back home can understand.

There’s memories in every corner, in every winding road

And every time I close my eyes, I see the place I know.

Chorus

I miss Tennessee, I miss my home

I miss those hills and the places I’ve known.

I miss my buddies, horseshoes in the yard

Sittin’ on the bank, fishin’ after dark.

I miss those nights and the life I used to know

That Tennessee sunset and that old dirt road.

I can do all those things right where I’m at

But it ain’t the same, and I know that’s a fact.

So, I think it’s time I pack my things and go

Head back where my heart’s been all along.

Home sweet home, where I belong

Home sweet Tennessee.

Bridge

Maybe home ain’t just a place on a map

Maybe it’s the people and the memories you have.

And no matter how far these two hands may roam

There’s one place in this world that still feels like home.

So, fire up the truck, let those tires roll

I’m Tennessee-bound with a fire in my soul.

Got a lifetime of memories waiting down that road

And I’m ready to go back where my heart calls home.

Final Chorus

I miss Tennessee, I miss my home

Those rolling green hills and that old gravel road.

I miss my buddies, I miss those days

Sittin’ by the water in the Tennessee haze.

I miss that life, yeah, I miss it bad

The best damn memories I ever had.

I tried to make a home everywhere I’ve been

But Tennessee keeps calling me again.

So, I’m gonna pack my stuff and make my way home

No more wonderin’ where I belong.

Home sweet home, where the heart runs free

Home sweet home, sweet Tennessee.

Outro

From Kentucky farms to Texas trails

From Arkansas hills to Tennessee tales

I’ve seen a lot of country, but now I know…

There’s only one place I’m ready to go.

Home sweet home…

Home sweet Tennessee.

Yeah, Tennessee…

That’s where I belong.
