Tennessee

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

I was born here and raised here 'nd I will make my grave here

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

I was born here and raised here 'nd I will make my grave here
It's home
