East Tennessee

[Verse 1]
There's not a day that goes by
There's not a night that goes by
I don't think of you
I've seen a lot of faces
I've been to a lot of places
Not one compares to you

[Pre-Chorus]
You know I loved you since I was a child
Just like your mountain streams, I'm still running wild

[Chorus]
East Tennessee
Smoky Mountain Memories
Sweet Caroline and me
Skinny dipping in Freedom Creek
Another town, another show
No matter where I go
In my mind I'm always going home
To East Tennessee

[Verse 2]
I can still hear them saying
"Why keep dreaming and playing
That old guitar?"
Haters and high achievers
Ex-girlfriends, non-believers
Said you won't get far

[Pre-Chorus]
In a way, they right 'cause I didn't get far
From the place so close and dear to my heart

[Chorus]
East Tennessee
Smoky Mountain Memories
Sweet Caroline and me
Skinny dipping in Freedom Creek
Another town, another show
No matter where I go
In my mind, I'm always going home
To East Tennessee

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
East Tennessee
Smoky Mountain Memories
Sweet Caroline and me
Skinny dipping in Freedom Creek
Another town, another show
No matter where I go
In my mind, I'm always going home

[Outro Chorus]
(East Tennessee)
(Smoky Mountain Memories)
(That's where they'll bury me)
That's where they'll bury me
(East Tennessee)
(Smoky Mountain Memories)
(Sweet Caroline and me)
