Josiah and the Bonnevilles - Tennessee Song Lyrics

Josiah and the Bonnevilles Lyrics

"Tennessee Song"

My eyes have seen
A million pretty things
In the world and in a girl
In the gold sun sinkin' in the deep blue sea
But nothin' compares
To the rollin' hills of green
Birthplace of the first love
That was given to me

I am headed to the yard of God
The heart of Tennessee
Treasure of the world
Home sweet home to me

My ears have heard
A million mornin' birds
Sad songs, sing along
Hey, a few that nobody's ever heard
But none as loud
As the song they're singin' out
Tellin' my mama on the mountain
I am Appalachian bound

I am headed to the yard of God
The heart of Tennessee
Treasure of the world
Home sweet home to me
I am headed to the yard of God
The heart of Tennessee
Treasure of the world
Home sweet home to me
