tennessee lyrics

I never had all the answers
I never had enough time
But I sure had all the reasons
Why you weren't what I wanted to find

I never laid all my cards out
You just wanted to play
The king, he waited on my doorsteps
While the joker and me went on our way

Maybe I was much too selfish but baby you're still on my mind
Now I'm grown and all alone and wishing I was with you tonight
'Cause I can guarantee, things are sweeter in Tennessee

These days everything is all business
Never in one place for too long
But there's no lack of arms around me
But I still wonder if somewhere I went wrong

And maybe I was much too selfish but baby you're still on my mind
But now I'm grown and all alone and wishing I was with you tonight
'Cause I can guarantee, things are sweeter in Tennessee, in Tennessee

And I'd wish on every star in the southern sky
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
And now I'm grown and all alone and wishing I was with you tonight
'Cause I can guarantee, things are sweeter in Tennessee
Yes, I can guarantee, things are sweeter in Tennessee
