Talk about troubles, I tell you I got 'em shovellin' sand on the Mississipi bottom
|
yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
|
I killed me a man in Shelby County, they turned me in for the government bounty
|
yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
|
|
Tennessee owns my soul, that little Georgia gal just wouldn't listen
|
She tried to run away with Stoney Lee I caught him and I put him six feet under
|
I wonder if he misses me? Tennessee owns my soul
|
|
Rottin' in a cell I try to forget her, wishin' like hell I'd never ever met her
|
yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
|
Gotta get away, gotta see my baby, gotta leave tonight, she's drivin' me crazy
|
yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
|
|
Tennessee owns my soul, if I can get as far as Lookout Mountain
|
Highway twenty four will carry me to the girl I killed another man for
|
Even then I know I won't be free, Tennessee owns my soul
|
I make it to the top of the twenty foot wall, the guard - I'm hit, and I think I'm gonna fall
|
yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
|
|
Laying on a broken back and cryin', everything's goin' black and I'm dyin'
|
yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah Tennessee owns my soul, Tennessee owns my soul
|

Tennessee Owns My Soul
