Songtext Tennessee Carl Perkins

Tennessee

Now there are folks that like to brag about where they came from
But when they start that stuff I let 'em be
But it makes me feel like I wanna brag some
To know that I come from the state of TennesseeLet's give old Tennessee credit for music
As they play it up in Nashville everydayLet's give old Tennessee credit for music
As they play it in that old Hillbilly way
Mister Red Foley came from KentuckyNow, Ernest Tubbs down in Texas, don't you see
But if all you folks out there can remember
Mister Eddy Arnold came from TennesseeLet's give old Tennessee credit for music
As they play it up in Nashville everydayLet's give old Tennessee credit for music
As they play it in that old hillbilly way They make bombs they say, that can blow up our world, dear
Well a country boy like me, I will agree
But if all you folks out there can remember
They made the first atomic bomb in TennesseeLet's give old Tennessee credit for music
As they play it up in Nashville everydayLet's give old Tennessee credit for music
As they play it in that old hillbilly way
