When I was a boy I didn't know nothin',
Didn't have a care in the world,
I had innocence and ignorance of things,
I wish I still did not know.
But no matter how far these songs take me,
If my dreams come true oh the heart aches break me,
No matter where I make my bed,
I long for you.

I was born here and raised here 'nd I will make my grave here,
It's home,
Tenn - essee
We've all got a story frozen in time,
People and places, livin' and dyin'
The heart beats and breathe and just tryin'
To make sense of it all
I am the second born of my mother and father
He's a lion hearted man, she's a Jesus lovin' woman
And no matter how far I roam I always belong
(To) Tenn - ess - ee
Tenn - ess - ee
I was born here and raised here 'nd I will make my grave here,
It's home,
Tenn - essee
It's not just geography, it's a part of me, the air I breathe.
And we've got a history, and the blood runs through.
Tenn - ess - ee

I was born here and raised here 'nd I will make my grave here,
It's home,
Tenn - essee
