Tennessee Paroles

Is it okay if I stay with you tonight
He had too much to drink again
And he went from a gentleman
Into a demon I don't recognize
Whooooooooo, whoooooo

We got into an awful fight
My life flash before my eyes
Never seen him in a rage like this before
And I said some things you won't believe
The way I cuss, the way he screamed
Couldn't stand the sight of him anymore

Well I'm tired of these tears on my pillow
There's got to be a better life for me
I'm drivin' out to find my hero
I hope he's back home in Tennessee
Tennessee

I'm going back I'm going back
To Memphis, Tennessee

Momma you were right again
I didn't understand back then
When you used to say you just can't raise a man
Thought my love could make home whole
Fill the void down in his soul
Now I can see that wasn't in God's plan

Well I'm tired of these tears on my pillow
There's got to be a better life for me
So I'm drivin' out to find my hero
I hope he's back home in Tennessee
Tennessee

I'm going back
I'm going back
To Memphis, Tennessee
Tennessee
I'm going back
I'm going back
To Memphis, Tennessee

Momma I just need some peace
So won't you say a prayer for me
Maybe I'll feel better when I'm home again

Cause I'm tired of these tears on my pillow
There's got to be a better life for me
So I'm drivin' out to find my hero
I hope he's back home in Tennessee
I hope he's back home in Tennessee
Yeah I hope he's back home in Tennessee

Whooooooooo, whoooooo
Whooooooooo, whoooooo
