Can you see the moonlight coming o’er the hills
Lead my on my way
I’m gonna see my first love
She’s like a shining beacon to me
Lord take me back to ol’ Tennessee
Driving with the top down underneath the stars
Hooray for Dollywood and the Grand Ole Opry
Oh rocky top, I can’t stand being apart
You’re so far away, so close to my heart
When I get down ’cause of life’s complications
And wonder aloud
“What’s happened to me?”
That’s when I smile at this pleasant reminder
Lord take me back to ol’ Tennessee
Driving with the top down on ole I-40
Lead me on my way
I’m going down to Graceland
Singing songs by Elvis Presley
Lord take me back to ol’ Tennessee
Heading up to Lynchburg to see good ole Jack
Lead me on my way to sweet inebriation
Three on the rocks and I’m feeling alright
We’ll sleep through the day and drink through the night
As I pine away for your ole southern comforts
With ol’ Woody Guthrie singing to me
That’s when I smile at this pleasant reminder
Lord take me back to ol’ Tennessee
From Franklin to Smyrna to ol’ Chattanooga
From Memphis to Jackson to ol’ Waverly
From Nashville to Clarksville to Cookeville to Knoxville
Lord take me back to ol’ Tennessee
