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
