Tennessee Owns My Soul Lyrics - Mgm B-sides & Singles - Roy Orbison

Talk about troubles, I tell you I got 'em shovellin' sand on the Mississipi bottom 

yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah 

I killed me a man in Shelby County, they turned me in for the government bounty 

yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah 

Tennessee owns my soul, that little Georgia gal just wouldn't listen 

She tried to run away with Stoney Lee I caught him and I put him six feet under 

I wonder if he misses me? Tennessee owns my soul 

Rottin' in a cell I try to forget her, wishin' like hell I'd never ever met her 

yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah 

Gotta get away, gotta see my baby, gotta leave tonight, she's drivin' me crazy 

yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah 

Tennessee owns my soul, if I can get as far as Lookout Mountain 

Highway twenty four will carry me to the girl I killed another man for 

Even then I know I won't be free, Tennessee owns my soul 

I make it to the top of the twenty foot wall, the guard - I'm hit, and I think I'm gonna fall 

yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
