"Down in Tennessee" lyrics

I talked to your sister last night on the telephone
She always thought pretty well of me
She said that the wedding went fine
And you were up in New York on your honeymoon
Tonight I'm down in Tennessee

I got that letter you wrote, it tore me up
But I don't have anyone to blame but me
I had it all for a while but like everything else
I messed it up
That's why I'm down in Tennessee

It's blue tonight and gettin' bluer
But I'm in the state that I deserve to be
Without you I just can't see
Things ever looking up for me
'Cause I'm so down in Tennessee

I hope you're happy with him, he's a lucky man
I hope he gives you that home and family
I just want to say if by chance
If you're ever this way, look me up
'Cause I'll be down, in Tennessee

It's blue tonight and gettin' bluer
I'm in the state that I deserve to be
Without you I just can't see
Things ever looking up for me
'Cause I'm so down, in Tennessee
I'll be down in Tennessee
I'm gonna be down in Tennessee
