Tennessee Song
Josiah Leming
My eyes have seen a million pretty things
In the world and in a girl
In the gold sun sinkin' in the deep blue sea
But nothin' compares to the rolling hills of green
Birthplace of the first love that was given to me
I am headed to the yard of God
The heart of Tennessee
Treasure of the world
Home sweet home to me
My ears have heard a million morin' birds
Sad songs, sing along
Hey, a few that nobody's ever heard
But none as loud as the song they're singin' out
Tellin' my mama on the mountain
I am Appalachia bound
I am headed to the yard of God
The heart of Tennessee
Treasure of the world
Home sweet home to me
I am headed to the yard of God
The heart of Tennessee
Treasure of the world
Home sweet home to me
