Tennessee hills get dark when the sun clocks out
And the coyotes run the hills with blood stained on their snout
And the bad guys hide in shadows, while the good guys front porch sit
And sip fire from a jug ’til they pass out on the steps
Singin’, I won’t ever leave
I volunteer for what I b’lieve
In the holler, you’ll remember me
Remember me
Singin’, I won’t ever leave
Cop a place in every tree
Sprinkle me in every creek
And every inch of Tennessee
Old folks in the valleys are stuck off in their ways
And the tall grass in the front yard wraps around some Chevrolet
The farm dogs cut the path, turn the dust around the ranch
And the rattlesnakes make it [?] with the rhythm of roughnecks
Singin’, I won’t ever leave
I volunteer for what I b’lieve
In the holler, you’ll remember me
Remember me
Singin’, I won’t ever leave
Cop a place in every tree
Sprinkle me in every creek
And every inch of Tennessee
When the lights go out in my tatted up lid
The story of me will be told like I’m Billy the Kid
Runnin’ wild through the south, not sayin’ sorry for sh#t
Just ridin’ with a pack of tobacco-spittin’ crackers with fifths
With a strap on my hip and a shoulder of chips
Roll a blunt bigger than goals that people hold in the scripts
This ain’t a lullaby I’m hummin’, I turn mud into gold
And when I’m gone you’ll see a ghost in the woods singin’ this song
Singin’, I won’t ever leave
I volunteer for what I b’lieve
In the holler, you’ll remember me
Remember me
Singin’, I won’t ever leave
Cop a place in every tree
Sprinkle me in every creek
And every inch of Tennessee
