Gene Watson - Tennessee Sunshine Lyrics






Well just before sunrise in the morning
I'll be on the highway headed home
Home is just a little bit east of Nashville
Where the Tennessee River winds along

I'm' a gonna hear the roosters crowing
Sourwood Mountains
I've got that home sick feeling in my bones
I'll trade some of these travelin' blues for some Tennessee Sunshine
Tennessee Sunshining blues, lovin' you

I worked in the Texas sand picking cotton
And I tried rodeo'in last fall
I worked in a Caterpillar factory in Peoria Illinois
And travelled Canada east of Montreal

I'm' a gonna hear the roosters crowing
Sourwood Mountains
I've got that home sick feeling in my bones
I'll trade some of these travelin' blues for some Tennessee Sunshine
Tennessee Sunshining blues, lovin' you

Wondering if folks back home will know me
Since they've saw me, I've lost 30 pounds
I sure have missed my Mama's country cooking
And the Sunday singing's better on the ground

I'm' a gonna hear the roosters crowing
Sourwood Mountains
I've got that home sick feeling in my bones
I'll trade some of these travelin' blues for some Tennessee Sunshine
Tennessee Sunshining lovin' you
Tennessee Sunshining lovin' you
Tennessee Sunshining lovin' you
Tennessee Sunshining lovin' you

    @norbie6 Lucky You! I had to buy MY Tshirt !!! AND lucky to get to see him 6 times. I guess I am addicted, too. My kids call me "an old would be groupie". I did answer the quiz this month. Maybe I will win one too.

    @dollydimple1000 I live in Il. I had just seen Gene in Sedalia,Mo. at the state fair. They had a Gold Tour with several artists. I went mainly to see Gene. I'm addicted to his music. I have every cd. My husband downloaded them on my mp3 & I use headphones & walk to his music every night. I have been fortunate to have seen him 6 times. I've won a cd & an autographed t-shirt on his web site. My pics were on his message board but it's all been changed. Wish I could have been there!
