Tennessee Is Burning

Came out west I guess for a better life Hitching a ride off the mountainside In memories I see what I left behind That I never thought I'd miss Sleeping alone, disowned, in a living room Turn my head, turn on the news Wild fires are comin into view Never thought it would come to this Tennessee is Burning I will not be returning To the hills of my childhood got the wildwood blues Smoke keep on a-risin' Where I keep my ties in Down in cattanooga will I loose ya there? Ill send my prayers When the bottle was empty daddy got mean So i took my time hiding on deep creek How will i ever get to make peace When i can't forget Tennessee is Burning I will not be returning To the hills of my childhood got the wildwood blues Smoke keep on a-risin' Where I keep my ties in Down in cattanooga will I loose ya there? Ill send my prayers All the hurtful words and hands were laid on me And the lessons I learned carved in hickory While the flames sustain with my heart still there Down in Chattanooga will I loose ya there Tennessee is Burning I will not be returning To the hills of my childhood got the wildwood blues Smoke keep on a-risin' Where I keep my ties in Down in cattanooga will I loose ya there? Ill send my prayers Down in chatanooga will you take me there Where tennessee is burning Where tennessee is burning Where tennessee is burning
