I never had all the answers   I never had enough time   But I sure had all the reasons   Why you weren't what I wanted to find      I never laid all my cards out   You just wanted to play   The king, he waited on my doorsteps   While the joker and me went on our way      Maybe I was much too selfish but baby you're still on my mind   Now I'm grown and all alone and wishing I was with you tonight   'Cause I can guarantee, things are sweeter in Tennessee      These days everything is all business   Never in one place for too long   But there's no lack of arms around me   But I still wonder if somewhere I went wrong      And maybe I was much too selfish but baby you're still on my mind   But now I'm grown and all alone and wishing I was with you tonight   'Cause I can guarantee, things are sweeter in Tennessee, in Tennessee      And I'd wish on every star in the southern sky   For that man and our life, if I did not think that, oh      And maybe I was much too selfish but baby you're still on my mind   And now I'm grown and all alone and wishing I was with you tonight   'Cause I can guarantee, things are sweeter in Tennessee   Yes, I can guarantee, things are sweeter in Tennessee
