[Verse 1]
The crowd pleasers have arrived
And say they've got me on their minds
The trapeze artists are in full swing
Doing all their favorite things

[Chorus]
I'm already on that Tennessee Special
Sure beats lying in my grave
I love you, honey, but you just don't know me
Tennessee Special all the way

[Verse 2]
Emerald City, diamond eyes
Cloak and dagger in disguise
The city living, it's not for me
And don't you agree?
Woah, woah, won't you agree?
Of course you do
Silly me

[Chorus]
I'm already on that Tennessee Special
Sure beats lying in my grave
I'll take the money, but these fools don't own me
Tennessee Special all the way
I'm already on that Tennessee Special
Sure beats lying in my grave
I love you, honey, but you just don't know me
Tennessee Special all the way
Tennessee Special all the way
