Oh yes I'm going back to my home in Tennessee
Back to the girl that's waiting in the cotton fields to see
There's a mother and a dad that's waiting patiently
And the place I'm longing for tonight's my home in Tennessee

I'll sail the skies in airplane to a place called Bunkers Hill
I'll drop from the clouds in a parachute and oh boys what a thrill
My song shall fall in no mans land and I'm in the great prairie
But the place I'm longing for tonight's my home in Tennessee

I've been to Frisco's Golden Gate also Bangor, Maine
I've been to the Rocky Mountains and back down again
And up to old New York saw the Statue of Liberty
But the place I'm longing for tonight's my home in Tennessee
