If you ever hear me clamor about the country
You can go ahead and punch me in my face
If I say something akin to "that old country did me in,"
Hand me some gin and call me Robert Brutus Yates
If I ever say "my god, I love this city,"
You can roll me in my grave right then and there
I like the buildings and the trains but as I go, I grow afraid
That I just might be here to stay until I'm dead
I don't wanna not wanna go back to Tennessee
Why is it city boys are singing about the country,
And country boys are rapping in the streets?
God tell me that ain't how I'll fare, if I'm so smart and self-aware,
Why do I stare at fancy shoes and don't eat meat?
I don't wanna not wanna go back to Tennesee
I don't wanna not wanna but I gotta say I thought or I
Oughta say I knew that I'd be hurtin' and be bruisin'
'Cause I'm getting used to losin' everything that made me human
Way back in Tennessee
