[instrumental]

Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?

Come with us and you will see
This our state of Tennessee

This is Tennessee, this is Tennessee
Rednecks hoot in the dead of night

This is Tennessee, everybody make a scene
Lifted trucks driving on the dirt roads every night
It's our state, everybody see
It's this state of Tennessee

I am the hick hiding under your bed
Teeth gone bad and eyes slightly red

I am the one trying to grow a pair
Fingers like sticks and shotguns in my lair

This is Tennessee, this is Tennessee, Tennessee! Tennessee! Tennessee! Tennessee!

In this state we call home
Everyone hail to the bluegrass song

In this state, don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next wildfire!

'Round that corner, man hiding in the white van
Raccoon's waiting now to pounce, and how you'll scream!

This is Tennessee
Confederate flags are seen
Are you gay?
Well, that's not fine

Say it once, say it twice
Take a chance and roll the dice
Ride in a truck in the dead of night

Everybody see, everybody see

It's our state of Tennessee

I am the clown with the tear-away face
Here by a school and gone without a trace

I am the "who" when you call, "Who's there?"
I am the hick with the scraggly hair

I am the cabin in the woods at night
Possessing teens to the brim with fright

This is Tennessee, this is Tennessee
Tennessee! Tennessee! Tennessee! Tennessee!
Tennessee! Tennessee!

Unsolved murders everywhere
Life's no fun without a dead bear

That's our job, but we're not mean
In our state of Tennessee

In this state
Don't we love it now?

Everybody's waiting for the next wildfire
An old redneck might catch you in the back
And scream like a banshee
Make you jump out of your skin
This is Tennessee, everybody see
Won't ya please make way for a very special guy

Johnny Cash is king of the country stash
Everyone hail to the Johnny Cash, now!

This is Tennessee, this is Tennessee
Tennessee! Tennessee! Tennessee! Tennessee!

In this state we call home
Everyone hail to the bluegrass song

Y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all, y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all, yeaaaahhhhhhh!!!
