The Hills Of Tennessee

Hills Of Tennessee

Someone robbed a bank in Jackson Mississippi
that man who got away looked a lot like me
I had to leave that town before they put me under
that Mississippi jail is no place I want to be

chorus:
My twin brother got away he's chillin' down in Georgia
while I'm heading for the hills the hills of Tennessee

My mind went blank when I left the highway
rolling down the moountain Lord want you spare my soul
my car finally stopped I was hanging upside down
just thread of life between me and the valley below

chorus:
My twin brother got away he's chillin' down in Georgia
while the Sherriff's on my tail in the Hills of Tennessee

I fell asleep that night I was dreming of my baby
my heart was just as lonesome as a dove in a tree
and I heard a voice say, I'm the Sherriff of Passcaquola
I'm here to haul in and throw away the key

chorus:
My twin brother got away he's chillin' down in Georgia
while the Sherriff hauled me in from the Hills of Tennessee


My twin brother got away he's chillin' down in Georgia
while the Sherriff hauled me in from the Hills of Tennessee
