Jerry Reed - You Can't Keep Me Here In Tennessee lyrics

By the time we left Kentucky all that was on my mind Was the way I've spent my trouble like a dime When we got back to Nashville things were still the same Lord my thought went back to Texas and I hoped to ease the pain Cause you fall like a tree when you're cut down And you been too long hackin' away at me Well it's a long long road I'm takin' back to Texas Cause you can't keep me here in Tennessee Well in all my looking at you It's funny all the things I've never seen Lord Cause the sun don't shine beside you Least wise it ain’t never shone on me shone on me Cause you fall like a tree when you're cut down... Well my mind's been in a dungeon A prison in a world of make believe make believe And I'm a beggin' for your pardon I've served my time and so now I'll take my leave take my leave Cause you fall like a tree when you're cut down... Yes you fall like a tree when you're cut down...
