I never had all the answers

I never had enough time

I sure had all the reasons

You weren't what I wanted to find

I never layed all my cards out

You just wanted to play

Baby you waited on my doorstep

While the joker in me went along with it

Maybe I was much too selfish

But baby you're still on my mind

Now I'm grown and all alone

And wishing I was with you tonight

Cause I guarantee things are sweeter in Tennessee

These days everything is all business

I'm never in one place for too long

There's no lack of arms around me

But I still wonder if somewhere I went wrong

Maybe I was much too selfish

But baby you're still on my mind

Now I'm grown and all alone

And wishing I was with you tonight

Cause I guarantee things are sweeter in Tennessee

In Tennessee

And I wished on every star in the southern sky

For that man in the night

Fighting my fear again

Maybe I was much too selfish

But baby you're still on my mind

Now I'm grown and all alone

And wishing I was with you tonight

Cause I guarantee things are sweeter in Tennessee

Cause I guarantee things are sweeter in Tennessee
