The road is long and the price is so high
To be what you think that you ought to be
It seems like time just melts in my mind
And I can’t find no place to run away from me

I can feel your loneliness
Come on, lay down by my side
And I will sing to you a Tennessee lullaby
Yes, I will sing to you a Tennessee lullaby

If you lay in my arms I’ll sing you my rhymes
I’ll satisfy your body and I’ll ease your troubled mind
Oh you know it’s a one-night stand
But sweet love will make us strong
And I’ll be moving on, when the morning comes

I can feel your loneliness
Come on, lay down by my side
And I will sing to you a Tennessee lullaby
Yes, I will sing to you a Tennessee lullaby
