Tennessee - Goodnight, Texas

You can take my heart and take my hand

You can take my horse I’ll understand

You can take the plains and take the sea

But you can’t take Tennessee from me

You can take my health and have my time

You can take my strength at my prime

You can leave me locked and keep the key

But you can’t take Tennessee from me

You can lie your way into my life and take all you can find

You may get an awful lot, but Tennessee

Is mine

You can take my money and take my gold

You can take my youth before I’m old

You can throw it all away from me

But dammit if you touch Tennessee

You can take my heart and take my hand

You can take my horse I’ll understand

You can take my voice I’ll sing off key

Oh but you can’t take Tennessee from me

You can lie your way into my life and take all you can find

You may get an awful lot, but Tennessee

Tennessee

Tennessee

Is mine
