Bobby Bare - Long Way To Tennessee Lyrics

I'm a long long way from where I want to be in the Arizona Prison they've got me

And until they set me free oh oh me it's a long long way from here to Tennessee

Oh my mouth is dry with dust my throat is raw

How I miss those big green trees in Arkansas

On the way to where I'll be when they set me free

But it's a long long way from here to Tennessee

A long long way from me to the girl that I love so

Will she wait for me oh Lord I don't know

I know that I've done wrong but friends I've paid the price

Back in Tennessee I left sweet paradise

But until they set me free oh oh me it's a long long way from here to Tennessee

It's a long long way from here to Tennessee

It's a long long way from here to Tennessee
