Twenty Miles from Tennessee

I grew up twenty miles from tennessee Climbing up to the balcony And sneaking in to jenny's room We'd listen to greatest hits of patsy cline We memorized 'bout every line Her favorite song was she's got you We'd walk along the creek in our bare feet Where there's mountains high and valleys deep Twenty miles from tennessee Where the sun hangs low on the evergreens Winds whisper through the pines A sweet southern lullaby And it's the song that me and jenny sing About twenty miles from tennessee Yeah I wore black on black like johnny cash Beatle boots and a cowboy hat Cause jenny said it suited me I'd play my sad songs 'bout broken hearts And getting drunk in smoky bars She knew the words and every melody She stole her daddy's car and gave me the keys Nashville ain't that far She said don't you worry 'bout me I'll be Twenty miles from tennessee Where the sun hangs low on the evergreens Winds whisper through the pines A sweet southern lullaby And it's the song that me and jenny sing About twenty miles from tennessee I done all right in opryland Writing songs for country bands But the only words worth writing down Were of jenny and my hometown And the only melody seems I could sing Was the hum of the breeze Through the blue ridge peaks Twenty miles from tennessee Where the sun hangs low on the evergreens Winds whisper through the pines A sweet southern lullaby And it's the song that me and jenny sing About twenty miles from tennessee
