Well, I'm a little bit lonesome
I wanna go back home some
Walk the Tennessee road some
Smell that morning breeze
Hey, I'm a little bit lonely
For my one and only
And I won't be happy
'Til she's close to me

Walkin' on the road, playin' music in a country band
Livin' out of a suitcase doin' them one-night stands
I'm doin' what I love to do
But it can get to you
And tonight, my heart is sadly blue

'Cause I'm a little bit lonesome
I wanna go back home some
Walk the Tennessee road some
Smell that morning breeze
Hey, I'm a little bit lonely
For my one and only
And I won't be happy
'Til she's close to me

Beautiful lady waiting back in Tennessee
Love and understanding, everything I wanna be
And I can feel her missing me
Cryin' endlessly
This empty feeling's killing me
'Cause I'm a little bit lonesome
I wanna go back home some
Walk the Tennessee road some
Smell that morning breeze
Hey, I'm a little bit lonely
For my one and only
And I won't be happy
'Til she's close to me
