Back To Tennessee

Billy Ray Cyrus Back To Tennessee Lyrics
1.Back To Tennessee

Fancy cars and diamond rings
I seen all kinds of shiny things
I should be feelin' like a king
But Lord I don't

Great big towns so full of users
Make a million still a loser
Some may bet on you to win
Most hope you won't

Livin' wild, ain't no mercy being free
When it brings you to your knees
Can't keep lying

I see the road now, I know just what I need
To find my way back to Tennessee
I'm going home now to southern, it's so sweet
And find my way back to Tennessee

I was only seventeen
I left behind my beauty queen
I turned my back on everything
And everyone

Rooms with lots of pretty faces
Still don't fill the empty spaces
Wanderin' where amazing grace is
There is none, no

Now I know there's no comfort in this world
God I miss that hometown girl
Wanna hold her

I'm on the road now, I know just what I need
To find my way back to Tennessee
I'm coming home now to southern, it's so sweet
And find my way back to Tennessee

All this time I was chasing after dreams
It was right in front of me
I was lost without her

I'm on the road now, I know just what I need
To find my way back to Tennessee
I'm coming home now to southern, it's so sweet
And find my way back to you and me
Find my way back to Tennessee

3.He's Mine

Old man knocked on my front door
With a teenage boy and a couple more from up the road
He had him by the collar
Said he caught him shootin'beer bottles
Down in the holler and somkin'
I said is that right

He said,they won't speak when spoken to
So which one here belongs to you
And I know one does
Cause they all started runnin' to your back forty
When they saw me comin' on my gator
I look in the eye

And I said, He's mine that one
Got a wild-hair side and them some
There's no surprise what He's done
He's ever last bit of my old man's son
If you knew me then
There 'd be no question in your mind
You'd know he's mine- yeah he is

Friday night the football games
I was livin' for the speakers to call the name
On the back of number thirty-seven
Just one Forty-five
And five foot eleven - maybe

Limelight barely shined on hime
But everyone still remember when
He whooped up on that boy way bigger
For thinkin' that cheap shot our little kicker
And they threw him out
Man, you should've, you should've hear me shot

I yelled he's mine that one
Got a wild-hair side and then some
There's No surprise what he's done
He's every last last bit of my old man's son
And I'll take the blame
And claim him every time
Yeah man, he's mine and he'll always be

The best thing that ever happened to me
You can't turn it off like electricity
I will love him unconditionally
And I'll take the blame
And claim him every time
Yes, sir he's mine
Thank god , he's mine


4.Somebody Said A Prayer

Just a single mom raising up the kids
Little Tommy's seven now and
Her daughter Justine just turned ten

Pinchin' every cent, laughin' and lovin' and content
You would never think a couple years ago
She almost let her job, her kids, her mind, her life go up in
smoke
Right there on the edge right before the fall

Somebody said a prayer, somebody had some faith
Somebody finally hit their knees and asked for help for heaven's
sake
Somebody finally found someone who really cares
Somebody said a prayer

He was seventeen and his heart was broke
The middle of the night, a bottle full of pills and a goodbye
note
Sittin' on his bed but then he bowed his head
Now I see him every week and every now and then
He talks about that night and the peace that came over him

Talk about a sign, can I get an amen?
Well there were tears on his face
He said look what happened lord

Somebody said a prayer, somebody had some faith
Somebody finally hit their knees and asked for help for heaven's
sake
Somebody finally found someone who really cares
Somebody said a prayer

Somebody said a prayer, somebody had some faith
Somebody finally hit their knees and asked for help for heaven's
sake
Somebody finally found someone who really cares
Somebody said a prayer

Can I get an amen? Oh
Can I get an amen? Oh
Somebody, somebody said a prayer
Somebody said a prayer
Somebody, somebody said a prayer


5.A Good Day

Saw you at the football games
Everybody knew your name
Once or twice I'd see you smile at me
I was scared to ask you out
I was sure that you would turn me down
But I took that chance
Cause how would that be
Then what do you know
you said you'd go and there we were

Walking barefoot down by the water
Sun was hot but you made it hotter
Found that shade tree there by the riverbank
Sitting there, our toes all muddy
That first kiss was sweeter than honey
And every time that I look back
I say, man That was a good day

We all have our memories
The ones we lose, the ones we keep
The one we know we'll always hold on to
I've had my days, good and bad
But the best ones that I've has
Always seem to start and end with you

Yeah, those are the times
I know that I won't forget
Like that july 4th hugged up by the levy
You squeezed me hard
And told me you loved me
Fireworks flying
Talking our breath away

Felt like we were melting together
Thinking I could do this forever
And every time that I look back
I say, man that was a good day

When we're finished with this ride
And we on the other side
Bet we'll look back on this life

And say man that was a good day
Man that was a good day
Man that was a good day
Man that was a good day
Man that was a good day
Man that was a good day
Oh that, was a good day
Man that was a good day

I saw you at the football games
Everybody knew your name
Once or twice I'd seen you smile at me


6.I Could Be The One


7.Like Nothing Else


8.Country As Country Can Be

I grew up on Jones and Tammy Wynette
Blue collar dollars and the sun on my neck
Nascar and earnhart, still miss number three
Hey, I'm just as country as country can be

Wide open spaces fit me like a glove
Still live for my truck to be covered in mud
I got hard workin hands, I got boots on my feet
And I'm just as country as country can be

Hey I'm just as country as country can be
Red, white and blue are the colors I bleed
I thank the all mighty for the land of the free
And I'm just as country as country can be

I hear all this talk about time for a chance
I can't help but wonder what's wrong with the same
Who I am already is alright with me
Though I'm just as country as country can be

Hey I'm just as country as country can be
Red, white and blue are the colors I bleed
I thank the all mighty for the land of the free
And I'm just as country as country can be
Hey I'm just as country as country can be


9.Love Is The Lesson


10.Give It To Somebody

I've been walking up and down this road
Missing something, searching high and low
Grabbing anything I could hold
Holding tight and never letting go

Talking too much of everything I wanted
Got me thinking about what I really need
The only thing I'm taking when I'm leaving
Is something to believe in

What good is a heart not loving
What good are those arms not hugging
What good is that smile you're smiling
Till you give it to somebody

Take a look at that life you're living
All you're got and all you've been given
What good is all the good you're getting
Till you give it to somebody
Whoa whoa whoa
You gotta give it to somebody

You see the little moments everywhere
When all somebody needed was somone who cared
Someone to say, left me help you there
Is there anything I can do

I still remember the way it felt
To feel a helping hand when I needed help
And the words what good is what you've got give
If you keep it all to yourself

What good is a heart not loving
What good are those arms not hugging
What good is that smile you're smiling
Till you give it to somebody

Take a look at that life you're living
All you're got and all you've been given
What good is all the good you're getting
Till you give it to somebody
Whoa whoa whoa
You gotta give it to somebody

What good is a heart not loving
What good are those arms not hugging
What good is that smile you're smiling
Till you give it to somebody yeah

Take a look at that life you're living
All you're got and all you've been given
What good is all the good you're getting
Till you give it to somebody

What good is all the good you're getting
Till you give it to somebody
Whoa whoa whoa
You gotta give it to somebody


11.Real Gone

I'm American made but I like Chevrolet
My momma taught me wrong from right.

I was born in the South
Sometimes I have a big mouth
When I see something that I don't like
I gotta say it.

Well, we've been driving this road for a mighty long time
Paying no mind to the signs
Well, this neighborhood's changed
It's all been rearranged
We left that team somewhere behind.

Slow down, you're gonna crash,
Baby you're a-screaming it's a blast, blast, blast
Look out babe, you've got your blinders on
Everybody's looking for a way to get real gone
Real gone.
Real gone.

But there's a new cat in town
He's got high-faded friends
Thinks he's gonna change history

You think you know him so well
Yeah you think he's so swell
But he's just perpetuatin' prophecy

Slow down, you're gonna crash,
Baby you're a-screaming it's a blast, blast, blast
Look out, you've got your blinders on
Everybody's looking for a way
To get real gone
Real gone.
Real gone.
Real gone.

Well you can say what you want
But you can't say it 'round here
'Cause they'll catch you and give you a whippin'

Well, I believe I was right when I said you were wrong
You didn't like the sound of that
Now, did ya?

Slow down, you're gonna crash,
Baby you're a-screaming it's a blast, blast, blast
Look out, you've got your blinders on
Everybody's looking for a way to get real gone

Well here I come and I'm so not scared,
Got my pedal to the metal, got my hands in the air
Look out, you take your blinders off
Everybody's looking for a way to get real gone
Real gone.
Real gone.
Real gone.
Real gone.


12.Butterfly Fly Away (Feat. Miley Cyrus)

You tucked me in, turned out the light
Kept me safe and sound at night
Little girls depend on things like that

Brushed my teeth and combed my hair
Had to drive me everywhere
You were always there when I looked back

You had to do it all alone
Make a living, make a home
Must have been as hard as it could be

And when I couldn't sleep at night
Scared things wouldn't turn out right
You would hold my hand and sing to me

Caterpillar in the tree
How you wonder who you'll be
Can't go far but you can always dream

Wish you may and wish you might
Don't you worry, hold on tight
I promise you there will come a day
Butterfly fly away

Caterpillar in the tree
How you wonder who you'll be
Can't go far but you can always dream

Wish you may and wish you might
Don't you worry, hold on tight
I promise you there will come a day
Butterfly fly away

Butterfly fly away, butterfly fly away
Flap your wing now you can't stay
Take those dreams and make them all come true

Butterfly fly away, butterfly fly away
We've been waiting for this day
All along and knowing just what to do

Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly, butterfly fly away

Butterfly fly away
Butterfly fly away
