M ama I guess you heard
I got m arried in Tennessee
I got a b lue-eyed girl
Who thinks the world of m e
We got a c abin in the country
And a c reek that rolls nearby
And a d og that won't even bark at a firef ly
Our c lothes lines hang just outside our back door
And there's a t ire that swings in the air
Ten feet or m ore
There's a c hurch I can't seem to find
On Sunday m ornin'
But I s ure found the place that I b elong in
And we wear blue jeans
And b ig green beans
S pend the summertime n aturally high
By chopping wood for n ext winters fire
S aving our money for the c ounty fair
G eorge Jones' supposed to be t here
We got forty acres of c orn in the ground
T ennessee taters we s ell by the pound
P roud as we can b e
To l ive in T ennes see
Mama y ou and dad gotta come stay with us somet ime
I k now you love that sweet little gal of m ine
You and h er could talk about babies
Make some home made a pple pie
While me and d ad could take a walk
Maybe talk about old times
And we wear blue jeans
And b ig green beans
S pend the summertime n aturally high
By chopping wood for n ext winters fire
S aving our money for the c ounty fair
G eorge Jones' supposed to be t here
We got forty acres of c orn in the ground
T ennessee taters we s ell by the pound
P roud as we can b e
That we l ive in T ennes see
We are p roud as we can be
To b e from T ennes see
We are p roud as we can b e
To b e from T ennes see
