Out on the lonely highway
I'm riding your way
Tell your momma to bar the cabin door


Heading out on a short run
Just looking for someone

Who doesn't love me anymore

Tennessee pusher, Tennessee pusher, Tennessee pusher


Last night in the hollar
I made a thousand dollars

But I couldn't believe just what I saw

You were out in the moonlight

Until the break of daylight
Giving your love to the law
Tennessee pusher, Tennessee pusher, Tennessee pusher


Climbing up on the mountain
Heartbeat pounding

Reckless as a cyclone

You're the one that am after

But I am a wanted man for
Bringing it all back home


Now there's gunsmoke in the valley
Blood like jelly
As three crows circle a dead tree


One for the lover
One for the pusher

One for the deputy

Tennessee, Tennessee, Tennessee pusher

Tennessee pusher, Tennessee pusher, Tennessee pusher
