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
The King, he waited on my doorstep
While the Joker and me went on our way

Maybe I was much too selfish
But baby, you're still on my mind
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
And 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
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

Maybe I was much too selfish
But baby, you're still on my mind
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
