Long Way To Tennessee Lyrics - Bobby Bare

I'm a long long way from where I want to be in the Arizona Prison they've got me 

And until they set me free oh oh me it's a long long way from here to Tennessee 

Oh my mouth is dry with dust my throat is raw 

How I miss those big green trees in Arkansas 

On the way to where I'll be when they set me free 

But it's a long long way from here to Tennessee 

A long long way from me to the girl that I love so 

Will she wait for me oh Lord I don't know 

I know that I've done wrong but friends I've paid the price 

Back in Tennessee I left sweet paradise 

But until they set me free oh oh me it's a long long way from here to Tennessee 

It's a long long way from here to Tennessee 

It's a long long way from here to Tennessee
