Back in Tennessee

Remembering back when I was in Tennessee, olly olly oxen free

Deep in the Smoky Mountains under the willow tree

Look in your eyes like a deep blue sea like shadows in the fire

Back in Tennessee

Let me tell you, brother, honestly it's like floating on a summer's breeze

Late at night, warm as could be we're sippin' on the moonshine whisky

Bodies start shaking like a leaf on a tree, white lightning in the stars

I was blind O Lord and I couldn't see

Say one and one is three

Lord have mercy on my wicked soul

Trynna get the Devil outta me

Hitched a long ride, I was hungry and tired and went right to the 'stillery

Lo and behold, the story's been told that Jack Daniel was a waitin' for me

He bet me game of Tennessee Hold 'Em: A bottle for your soul

Back in Tennessee

There's a little white chapel on every other corner as far as the eye can see

Pray to the Lord for eternal reward and supplicate God Almighty

Blood runs true red, white and blue, ain't no backwood hoodoo

Back in Tennessee

I was blind O Lord and I couldn't see

Say one and one is three

Lord have mercy on my wicked soul

Trynna get the Devil outta me

Homestyle lovin' and NASCAR glee I'd like to thank you, please

Southern fried pickin' and how to jerk a chicken in the nineteenth century

Late night fiddles echo to the sea, when it's time to die

I'll be back in Tennessee

I was blind O Lord and I couldn't see

Say one and one is three

Lord have mercy on my wicked soul

Trynna get the Devil outta me

I was blind O Lord and I couldn't see

Say one and one is three

Lord have mercy on my wicked soul

Trynna get the Devil outta me
