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
