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 doorstep
While the joker and me went on our way


[Chorus]
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 a place for too long
And there's no lack of arms around me

But I still wonder if somewhere I went wrong

And I'd wish on every star in the

Southern sky
For that man and our life
If I did not think that


[Chorus]


Yes, I guarantee
Things are sweeter in Tenneesee
