I got a funny feeling that Nashville Tennessee wasn’t really meant for me.
I guess I’m leaving. I need a little more blue sky where hawks and doves fly.
It’s a State of being y’all, where the roads run forever but they brought us together.

Oh sweet thing. You were good to me, but I can’t tell who you want to be.
But my yellow rose - she always knows.
She always knows what’s best for me. Ohh Ohh
I need a lot more Texas and a little less Tennessee.

I guess I’m seeing… myself more clearer when I’m looking in the mirror.
It’s a little misleading cause I’m not ungrateful for the giants that you gave us.
I’m just saying , I hear another voice.

Oh sweet thing. You were good to me, but I can’t tell who you want to be.
But my yellow rose - she always knows.
She always knows what’s best for me. Ohh Ohh
I need a lot more Texas and a little less Tennessee.

I’ll miss Ol’ Smokey - you and Memphis too.
I hear a voice a calling, but sorry it ain’t you.
