Fancy cars and diamond rings
I've seen all kinds of shiny things
I should be feeling like a king
But Lord, I don't
Great big town so full of users
Make a million, still a loser
Some will bet on you to win
Most hope you won't

Living wild, ain't no mercy being free
When it brings you to your knees
Can't keep lying

I see the road now
I know just what I need
To find my way back to Tennessee
I'm going home now
To southern air so sweet
And find my way back to Tennessee

I was only seventeen
I left behind my beauty queen
I turned my back on everything
And everyone
Rooms with lots of pretty faces
Still don't fill the empty spaces
Wandering where amazing grace is
There is none, no

Now I know, there's no comfort in this world
God, I miss that hometown girl
I wanna hold her

I'm on the road now
I know just what I need
To find my way back to Tennessee
I'm comin' home now
To southern air so sweet
And find my way back to Tennessee

All this time, I was chasin' after dreams
It was right in front of me
I was lost without her

I'm on the road now
I know just what I need
To find my way back to Tennessee
I'm comin' home now
To southern air so sweet
And find my way back to you and me
And find my way back to Tennessee
