If I had my way, I'd leave here today I'd leave in a hurry I find me a place where I could stay And won't have to worry A place I'd feel loose A place I could lose These Tennessee blues I'd find me a spot, on a mountain top With no one around me With valleys and streams And birds in the trees With lakes that surround me A place I'd feel loose A place I could lose These Tennessee blues ♪ A place to forget, all my regrets And keep just the good times Some place I could sleep in nothing but peace And feel free at all times Some place I'd feel loose A place I could lose These Tennessee blues Some place I could lose These Tennessee blues
