There's a place I'd like to be
And it's back in Tennessee
(Where) your friendly neighbors smile and say, "Hello" (hello)
It's a pleasure and a treat to meander down the street
That's why I want the whole wide world to know (to know)

(dum, dum, dum, dum)
I love those dear hearts and gentle people
(Who live) who live in my hometown (back in my)
(Because) those dear hearts (those hearts) and gentle people
Will never, ever let you down (let you down)

They read the good book (they read) from Fri' 'til Monday
(That's how) that's how the weekend goes (how the week)
I've got a dream house (a house) I'll build there one day
With a picket fence and rambling rose

I feel so welcome each time that I return
And my happy heart keeps laughing like a clown (like a clown)
I love those dear hearts (those hearts) and gentle people
Who live and love in my
Be it ever so humble
With friends who live in my hometown (in my hometown)
