lyrics

Friendship, Tennessee
(Words and Music by JD Tucker)

Well I hitch hiked up that Smokey Mountain Highway
Caught a semi to a thousand miles from here
Dropped me off about a mile from the Skyway
Headed to the city lights with my duffle bag of gear
Saw so many things I only saw on TV
Learned some lessons I could never learn back home
In a funny way it was so crazy
Being with so many folks and feeling all alone

Well I wish I was in Normal, Alabama
I could use some time in Friendship, Tennessee
Because these city lights ain't shining on
A country boy like me
God take me back to where I want to be

I took a yellow cab to a restaurant called Laredo
I spent 40 bucks on a burger and a beer
And late last night I went looking for some comfort
But in the city lights there ain't good loving near

Well I wish I was in OK Oklahoma
I could ease my mind in Friendship, Tennessee
Because these city lights ain't shining on
A country boy like me
God take me back to where I want to be

I spent all my life searching for a place to call my own
It took me years to realize it was
My good old country home

Well I wish I was in Welcome, Carolina
I could use some time in Friendship, Tennessee
Because these city lights ain't shining on
A country boy like me
God take me back to where I want to be
God take me home to Friendship, Tennessee
