I talked to your sister
last night on the telephone
You know she always thought
pretty well of me
She said that
the weddin' went fine
You were up in New York
on your honeymoon
Tonight I'm down
in Tennessee
I got that letter you wrote
It tore me up
But I don't have anyone
to blame but me
I had it all for awhile
But like everythin' else
I messed it up
Tonight I'm down
in Tennessee
It's blue tonight
and gettin' bluer
But I'm in the state
that I deserve to be
Without you
I just can't see
things ever lookin' up for me
I'm so down in Tennessee
I hope you're happy with him
He's a lucky man
I hope he gives you
that home and family
I just wanna say if by chance
you are ever this way
Look me up
I'll be down in Tennessee
It's blue tonight
and gettin' bluer
But I'm in the state
that I deserve to be
Without you
I just can't see
things ever lookin' up for me
I'm so down in Tennessee
I'm so down
in Tennessee yeah
I'm gonna be down
in Tennessee
