"Tennessee Sunshine" lyrics

"Tennessee Sunshine"

Well just before sunrise in the morning
I'll be on the highway headed home
Home is just a little bit east of Nashville
Where the Tennessee River winds along

I'm' a gonna hear the roosters crowing
Sourwood Mountains
I've got that home sick feeling in my bones
I'll trade some of these travelin' blues for some Tennessee Sunshine
Tennessee Sunshining blues, lovin' you

I worked in the Texas sand picking cotton
And I tried rodeo'in last fall
I worked in a Caterpillar factory in Peoria Illinois
And travelled Canada east of Montreal

I'm' a gonna hear the roosters crowing
Sourwood Mountains
I've got that home sick feeling in my bones
I'll trade some of these travelin' blues for some Tennessee Sunshine
Tennessee Sunshining blues, lovin' you

Wondering if folks back home will know me
Since they've saw me, I've lost 30 pounds
I sure have missed my Mama's country cooking
And the Sunday singing's better on the ground

I'm' a gonna hear the roosters crowing
Sourwood Mountains
I've got that home sick feeling in my bones
I'll trade some of these travelin' blues for some Tennessee Sunshine
Tennessee Sunshining lovin' you
Tennessee Sunshining lovin' you
Tennessee Sunshining lovin' you
Tennessee Sunshining lovin' you
