Josiah and the Bonnevilles
Tennessee Song
[Verse 1]
My eyes have seen
A million pretty things
In the world and in a girl
In the gold sun sinkin' in the deep blue sea
But nothin' compares
To the rollin' hills of green
Birthplace of the first love
That was given to me

[Chorus]
I am headed to the yard of God
The heart of Tennessee
Treasure of the world
Home sweet home to me

[Verse 2]
My ears have heard
A million mornin' birds
Sad songs, sing along
Hey, a few that nobody's ever heard
But none as loud
As the song they're singin' out
Tellin' my mama on thе mountain
I am Appalachian bound
[Chorus]
I am headed to the yard of God
Thе heart of Tennessee
Treasure of the world
Home sweet home to me
I am headed to the yard of God
The heart of Tennessee
Treasure of the world
Home sweet home to me
