Well, I've been traveling around
Meetin' all kinds of people
Who'd take me in with a grin, make a friend
Make me feel so special

Well, ya'll have been so nice to me
I wanna return the favor, everything'll be free
But it's ya'll's turn to come down south
And Tennes-See-Me

Oh, life on the road can really get old
But you've made it a home for me
From Arizona to Montana, Texas, Indiana
Made friends that I wanna see

Oh, I'm goin' home tomorrow
And I'm gonna throw a party
Gonna be the place to be
So, you can't stay home, you'll only be alone
Ya gotta come and Tennes-See-Me

When I stay satisfied
Thankful to be doin' what I'm doin'
I could be over seas in the wars
And a-livin' a new way

But God's been so good to me
I wanna share it all with ya
What he wants us to be
And it's not that hard to show
I'm in Tennes-See Me

Oh, life on the road can really grow old
But you've made it a home for me
From Arizona to Montana, Texas, Indiana
Made friends that I wanna see

Oh, we're goin' home tomorrow
And I'm gonna throw a party
Gonna be the place to be
So, you can't stay at home, you'll only be alone
Ya gotta come and Tennes-See-Me

(instrumental)

Well, I feel so happy
I wanna just keep on singin'
A-this songs got me rockin' an a-reelin'
And it's got me to thinkin'
Well, it ain't a bad place to be
I might retire in the mountains
Just sing it to the trees
Cause this beauty is heavenly
Come and Tennes-See Me

Oh, life on the road can really get old
But you've made it a home for me
From Arizona to Montana, Texas, Indiana
Made friends that I wanna see

I'm goin' home tomorrow
And I'm gonna throw a party
Gonna be the place to be
So, you can't stay at home, you'll only be alone
You gotta come and Tennes-See-Me

No, you can't stay at home
You'll only be alone
Gotta come and Tennes-See-Me.
