The Great Palumbo - Tennessee Lyrics

There was a time when I would dream of distant foreign lands
Of far off mountains no one's climbed and beaches with white sand
Walking down the cobblestones of cities far away
I wasn't gonna let anyone or anything get in my way
Now oh so many years have passed and I've traveled 'round the world
Saw the mountains and the oceans, and I've met some foreign girls
But of all the places I have been, I've never once belonged
So I'm packing my bag one more time and singing one last travel song
Woah I'm headed out... Let the pavement lead
Leaving no doubt... To anyone I see
That I'm almost where I long to be
Yeah I'm headed on home to Tennessee
Everybody's gotta have a home, a place to rest their head
And the miles don't seem quite so long when you're headed for your bed
With nothing to go back to then all you can do is roam
But if you want to travel far away, first you gotta have a home
Woah I'm headed out... Let the pavement lead
Leaving no doubt... To anyone I see
That I'm almost where I long to be
Yeah I'm headed on home to Tennessee
When I'm home, when I get there
I will breathe that southern air
And I will stay, with you my love
And I'll be there for you to hold when the day is done
Woah I'm headed out... Let the pavement lead
Leaving no doubt... To anyone I see
That I'm almost where I long to be
Yeah I'm headed on home to Tennessee
Oh I'm headed on home to Tennessee
