You can't say I never tried
living through our every moment.
Or, I was not satisfied
with your feelings of atonement.
Friendsville cannot be my home
nowhere else in Tennessee.
Because, Oklahoma is where I've grown.
It's some place that I ought to be.
Even with your Smokey Mountains
and the mist of Abrams Falls.
Oliver's cabin in the Cade's Cove valley
floating down the little river
all the way to the Chimney Tops.
Your home ain't like mine.
They can never be the same.
But, I'm thankful for the night
that we laid down on the rug
and you tried to take my name.
