harper simon – tennessee lyrics
howdy
i’m gonna tell you a story
most of it is true
it goes back to my early memory
and maybe it will show you
why i do the things i do
i was born in new york city
but my mom’s from tennessee
tennessee…
a little town called newport
where the folks don’t grow too tall
and they don’t grow too short
it’s a place of moderation, common sense, and decency
well it’s nothing like the way i am
but it’s how i’m gonna be
oh, but on a serious note
i believe i left my cell phone in my coat
they are riding in a taxi down to 7th street and d
and that’s a long way from newport, tennessee
howdy again
to continue my story
on my educational road to glory
i was kicked out of a school, or two, or maybe it was
three
i got mostly incompletes, but in math i bought a c
i bought a c…
and then i rambled around
drove my car from slumberville to lonesome town
joined a band, but it didn’t go
so i booked some time on nashville’s music row
hush now
everybody get low down
i don’t want no electric guitars in the background
i’m trying to concentrate on how you find serenity
when you’re born in new york city,
but your mom’s from tennessee
and i got issues
h-ll, i got pain
there’s a lot i can’t remember
even more i can’t explain
no it don’t make much sense to me
still i’m proud my mama comes from tennessee
yes i’m proud my mama comes from tennessee
