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 doorsteps

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 wishing 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

But there's no lack of arms around me

But I still wonder if somewhere I went wrong

And maybe I was much too selfish

But baby you're still on my mind

But now I'm grown and all alone

And wishing 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 oh

And maybe I was much too selfish

But baby you're still on my mind

And now I'm grown and all alone

And wishing I was with you tonight

'Cause I can guarantee things are sweeter in Tennessee

Yes I can guarantee things are sweeter in Tennessee
