Tennessee

Kimberly M. Pate

(Going back, I'm going back to Memphis, Tennessee)

Mama, I was just takin' off
It's sure late, but I'm on the road
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

Whoo-ooh-ooh
Whoo-whoo

We got into an awful fight, my life flashed 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 gotta be a better life for me
So I'm drivin' out to find my hero
I hope he's back home in Tennessee
(Going back, I'm going back to Memphis, Tennessee)
Tennessee
(I'm going back, I'm going back to Memphis, Tennessee)

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

Well, I'm tired of these tears on my pillow
There's gotta be a better life for me
So I'm drivin' out to find my hero
I hope he's back home in Tennessee
(Going back, I'm going back to Memphis, Tennessee)
Tennessee
(I'm going back, I'm going back to Memphis, Tennessee)

Mama, 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 gotta be a better life for me
I'm drivin' out to find my hero
I hope he's back home in Tennessee (ooh-ooh-ooh)
I hope he's back home in Tennessee (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Yeah, I hope he's back home in Tennessee

Whoo-ooh-ooh
Whoo-whoo
Whoo-ooh-ooh
Whoo-whoo
