Lyrics:

I think I’ll head off to Tennessee
Where the lenders and the law won’t think to look for me
I’ve been running way too long and I’m almost out of steam
So I think I’ll head off to Tennessee

Only one good woman made her mark that will stay with me
All the rest are pale shadows reminding me of what used to be
It’s only in my mind, I know, but sometimes they make me crazy
So I think I’ll head off to Tennessee

Hide away for a spell
Hide away until I’m well
Where some warm morning is out there waitin’ on me
Deep in the hills of Tennessee

All the bad boys of my youth and all the bums out on the street
All the brave souls who have died have one thing in common with me
They all fell under the spell of that same, sweet dream
Deep in the hills of Tennessee

Hide away for a spell
Hide away until I’m well
Where some warm morning is out there waitin’ on me
Deep in the hills of Tennessee
Deep in the hills of Tennessee
