I've seen rocky mountains and great lakes Stood beneath a redwood tree But wherever I go my heart aches For a place called Tennessee Oh come with me Where the Whiskey flows like wine And the meth labs are divine Oh I wanna be Where the sweet tobacco grows And it's picked by poor Negros In Tennessee Oh it's a place where dueling banjos play And the mountain folk run free Where all the children can spell KKK But cannot spell Tennessee Oh come with me Where every cheek is filled with chew And no one's ever seen a Jew Oh I wanna be Where the hotdogs are deep fried
That's the reason Elvis died In Tennessee Oh come with me Where the Baptist preachers shout That if you're gay you best get out Oh I wanna be Where hospitality's the thing Just ask Martin Luther King Shot in Tennessee The birth place of Aretha queen of soul The B.B. King and Al Gore I'm not saying it's a sh** hole But they don't live there anymore Oh I wanna see Mountain dew in every cup And all the dentists just gave up Oh come with me On my fat bed pickup truck That's where the cla**y ladies f** In Tennessee Oh in Tennessee
