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 to selfish
but baby you´re still on my mind
Now I´m grown and alone
and wishin 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 theres no lack of arms around me
But I still wonder if somewhere I went wrong


Maybe I was much to selfish
but baby you´re still on my mind
Now I´m grown and alone
and wishin I was with you tonight
´Cause I can guarantee
things are sweeter 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


Maybe I was much to selfish
but baby you´re still on my mind
Now I´m grown and alone
and wishin I was with you tonight
´Cause I can guarantee
things are sweeter in Tennessee


Yes I can guarantee
things are sweeter in Tennessee
