Do Not Go To Tennessee Lyrics - Singles - Austin Lounge Lizards

(Hank Card) 

Do not go to Tennessee 

That is what my Daddy said 

But I knew Daddy was a fool 

I listened to myself instead 

Do not go to Tennessee 

'Cause it would be a big mistake 

They will treat you like a dog 

And never give you a fair shake 

I was going out to Nashville; I was gonna be a star 

I would have my name inlaid between the frets of my guitar 

My videos would play on TNN and CMT 

And the fans at Opryland would stand in line for me 

And so I went to Tennessee 

I was successful right away 

I wrote a tune with Mr. Big 

I got a deal with MCA 

It was a Number One Hit Song 

Although it took a week or two 

Sometimes the wait seemed mighty long 

Lord knows you've got to pay your dues 

When I go back to Oklahoma 

Everybody says, "Ooowee!" 

Who would have thought a kid like that 

Could be on nationwide tv? 

I bought my Daddy a new home 

Out on Lake of the Cherokee 

He calls me on his mobile phone 

To say he's glad I went to Tennessee
