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
