I never had all the answers
I never had enough time
But I sure had all the reasons
Why you weren't
What I wanted to find
I never laid all my cards out
You just wanted to play
Keep you waiting
On my doorsteps
While the joker and me
Went on our way
Maybe I was
Much too selfish
But baby you're
Still on my mind
And now I'm grown
And all alone
And wishin'
I was with you tonight
Cause I can guarantee
Things are sweeter
In Tennessee
These days everything
Is all business
Never in one place
For too long
But there's no lack of arms
Around me
But I still wonder
If somewhere I went wrong
Maybe I was
Much too selfish
But baby you're still
On my mind
And now I'm grown
And all alone
And wishin' I was
With you tonight
Cause I can guarantee
Things are sweeter
In Tennessee
In Tennessee
And I'd wish on every star
In the southern sky
For that man and our life
If I did not think that oh
Maybe I was
Much too selfish
But baby you're still
On my mind
And now I'm grown
And all alone
And wishin' I was
With you tonight
Cause I can guarantee
Things are sweeter
In Tennessee
Yes I can guarantee
Things are sweeter
In Tennessee
