[Verse 1]
Fancy cars and diamond rings
I seen all kinds of shiny things
I should be feeling like a king
But lord I don't
Great big towns, so full of users
Make a million, still a loser
Some may bet on you to win
Most hope you won't
Living wild, ain't no mercy being free
When it brings you to your knees
Can't keep lying

[Chorus]
I've seen the road now
I know just what I need
To find my way back to Tennessee
I'm going home now
To Southern, is so sweet
And find my way back to Tennessee

[Verse 2]
I was only seventeen
I lived behind my beauty queen
I turned my back on everything
And everyone
Rooms with lots of pretty faces
Still don't fill the empty spaces
Wandering where Amazing Grace is
There is none, no
Now I know, there's no comfort in this world
God I miss that hometown girl
Want to hold her
[Chorus]

All this time I was chasing after dreams
It was right in front of me
I was lost without her

[Chorus]
