Lynch, Stephen - Tennessee Lyrics
I've seen rocky mountains and great lakes
Stood beneath a redwood tree
But wherever I go my heart aches
For a place called Tennessee
Where the Whiskey flows like wine
And the meth labs are divine
Oh I wanna be
Where the sweet tobacco grows
And it's picked by poor Negros
In Tennessee
Oh it's a place where dueling banjos play
And the mountain folk run free
Where all the children can spell KKK
Oh come with me
Where every cheek is filled with chew
And no one's ever seen a Jew
Oh I wanna be
Where the hotdogs are deep fried
That's the reason Elvis died
In Tennessee
Oh come with me
Where the Baptist preachers shout
That if you're gay you best get out
Oh I wanna be
Where hospitality's the thing
Just ask Martin Luther King
Shot in Tennessee
The birth place of Aretha queen of soul
The B.B. King and Al Gore
I'm not saying it's a shit hole
But they don't live there anymore
Oh I wanna see
Mountain dew in every cup
And all the dentists just gave up
Oh come with me
On my fat bed pickup truck
That's where the classy ladies fuck
In Tennessee
Oh in Tennessee

Lynch, Stephen Tennessee Comments
I live in west Tennessee and we had a meth lab blow up just down the road from me
God she’s hot!!!!
If there’s any woman who can upstage Stephen Lynch, she’s better have the face of heaven, the voice of an angel, and be able to keep a straight face while singing whatever shit he pulls out of his ass.
Courtney wine such heavenly lady. This is my first time seeing her and I like her already.
The best harmonica run I've ever heard
One of the most beautiful songs ever
I think that King joke would've gotten a bigger reaction if more people knew he was assassinated in Memphis.
Hot Take:
This is a better Whiskeytown song than anything on Pneumonia.
Just found this song. Listening to it from Bedford county TN. So true. It’s sorta flat here but we still endure the hillbillies.
Im from Tennessee and i only have one thing to say. FUCK THE 71 PPL WHO DISLIKED THIS! IT WAS AMAZING 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Couple things lol 1. im a thirty year old Tennessee native never seen not one Jew and 2. mexicans pick our baccer round here now
I may be from Kentucky but in many ways this song still applies.... had a neighbor arrested in the apartment above us for having a meth lab... could be taking a shit one day and get blown tf up.
She has nice.... eyes.
nice tits
The females name is Courtney jaye. You're welcome
Actually her name is Courtney Goldberg. That's why she points at herself about the jew. You're welcome, too!
@takoda9 lmao.
I will definitely keep that in mind. For research purposes
LOL SO FUNNY WHITE PEOPLE BAD BLACK PEOPLE GOOD AM I RIGHT FELLOW LIBERALS?
I don't understand how he was able to write a song that makes you simultaneously despise a state and long for home. The melody is something that belongs on main stream radio. I would love to hear a "serious" version of this song more than any other he's written.
Now do one about blacks and Jews.
To be fair, it's a lot easier to spell KKK than Tennessee. Also the kids can ask their daddy how to spell KKK if they need to. But you can't ask the parents how to spell Tennessee either.
As a truck driver who spent a lot of time in Tennessee I can confirm and this song is hilarious and accurate
I visited Tennessee for a week a couple of years ago. I was struck by how beautiful the state is. The Natchez Trace Parkway is one sublime vista after another. I found the people to be friendly. We stopped at a restaurant on the road for lunch in one small town. The dining area had 2 seating areas. We decided to sit with the black people. They gave us the stink eye. We went to Tennessee to visit a relative who had lived there for about ten years. He got in trouble for taking his pistol with him to investigate a car crash across the road from his house. A couple of teen agers in the car, going too fast, had ended up on top of a steel mailbox post. Mind you, nobody puts in a steel post for their mailbox without past experience that wood ones don't survive. The kids were related to the sheriff. Even though my relative, owned a nice house, had a good paying job, and had lived there for more than a decade, the natives still put in the "You're not from around here, are you?" category. He was hounded by the locals, including the sheriff, for over a year because he had made sure that the young 'uns names had been placed into the record for drunk driving.
Cops suck everywhere there are cops. ACAB
Southern police, especially small town southern police, tend to be extremely corrupt.
@Corey That particular sheriff was not on the up and up. I can't speak for any of the others.
The chemistry between them is just beautiful and the song is great.
I love Courtney's eye roll at 1:00.
my family has been in Tennessee since before the Revolutionary War......this is so correct lol
Go Hobo Joe!!!
Who is the lady?
Courtney jaye
Damn i have a flatbed pick up, but I am in the wrong state.
Was great until kkk
When the fuck did Steven Lynch become a yoda at acoustic guitar
I just noticed Courtney rolls her eyes when she says "negroes".
💜 I love her #sheslikereallynigga
I like the (Hair) ol whats her name
Is that a bar chord hes playing?
Courtney jaye is absolutely gorgeous and god damn them some tig ole bitties
Did you know toothpaste was invented in Tennessee? If it had been invented anywhere else, they would have called it teethpaste.
David Gordon some guy won’t get the joke and will say “bUt tHaTs nOt tRuE.”
Hobo Chuck is a bad cat on a harmonica!
Funny song RIP music is a RIP off of Ryam Adam's Sweet Carolina..
If that was true, the no-talent jew would have sued him. Didn't happen.
Born and raised and still live in the Mountains of Tennessee myself and this song has meaning and brings truth!
Got a signed copy of this DVD when I met him and Rod
What a beautiful sound these two have. I love Stephen Lynch and his songs, but I'd love to hear these two harmonize on a few legit tunes, they sound amazing.
She also sings a song with him called "No Meat". And I think these songs are totally legit.
I have been saying this for many years. I was ecstatic when i heard he was doing the lead for wedding singer on Broadway. I'd love to hear a main stream lyric version of this melody. It's amazing
@kaligriffin OMFGs! Really?! Oh man! That would be fantastic!!!
@Melanie Miller he did the premier season run of the Broadway version of Adam Sandler's wedding singer, years ago. He was awesome in the commercials i saw. Never got to see the show.
I really want to hear some main stream stuff from him. His writing talent is incredible.
When did Stephen become tame?
Probably when the world decided it would shame him if he released anything remotely controversiao
I'm a huge old school fan of Stephen Lynch. However I didn't realize he had new stuff out. (New to me anyway.) At first I thought this was a serious song, which I will admit, I was pleased to see. I've always figured with his talent he could do it. But this obviously changed and I realized this was his usual funny as hell kind of music. I do want to see a lot more of whoever the female singer is. And by a lot more, I'm talking about her.........singing. Of course, yes that is what I was referring to..........her singing. Oh who am I kidding, you know what the hell Im talking about. What's her name?
Its been posted several times already, but just in case you haven't caught it, her name is Courtney Jaye
As a lifelong resident of Tennessee, I can testify to the truthfulness stated herein.
Actually, Al Gore was born in Washington DC. But funny song.
He's only referring to Franklin as being born in TN, BB king and Al gore for living there at some point
This is a perfect Wedding song
At 0:43, there was no longer any music...
That harmonica solo though!!!
Hayden Boyd - Best part of the song!
Was about to mention it.. sweet!
That's Charlie King, an old buddy from college. He learned his basics performing Dylan tunes in front of stores for the Salvation Army at Christmastime. He's only gotten better with time.
Gurls hot
damn, is tennessee really that great?
Beautiful Greece Yep! Have lived here for six years now. Moved here from just a little over an hour north in Kentucky. Kentucky has my heart but Tennessee is getting close to be honest and my kids are happiest here so wherever they're happy, I'm happy.
Loved it so well. i spit a drink into my face!
Charlie King on the mouth harp! Amazing! TN boy here!
she ruins Stephen lynch's real music he needs to go back to the time before she joined
JOHN m I like it better when he's with Tyke. These other ppl arnt bad but I'd rather see him solo or with tyke.
Ummm... No.
You realize she didn't ruin anything. Nothing is ruined. Stephen chose to try something else out with his music. I don't think he was terribly pleased with 3 Balloons for some reason (though I found it to be great, like the rest of his work), and decided to do something he hadn't done before. There's nothing wrong with trying new things, and these songs are just as funny and in the same vein as his other works, just more subtle. On top of that, she didn't write or produce them. He did lol.
I want someone who looks at me the way Courtney looks at Stephen.
You mean as a friend cause stephen is married.
@Adam Heathen he's still fuckin that. Sucking on them big ol J ew tits lol
Courtney is too gorgeous.
What is her last name. She is Gorgeous.
brandon hasley jaye
@brandon hasley She's a nice jewish girl named Courtney Goldberg.....oy..... just make sure you have a second home in West Pawuuummm... and a Mercedes for her...
Absolutely
Born and raised in TN- the place is largely a hellhole. This song is 100% true!!!
The audience is laughing, though the issue isn't really funny.
Some people use humor to talk about tough things so we can at least acknowledge them. First step to fixing the issues. See George Carlin or Richard Pryor (though Blazing Saaddles was too much for Pryor to take the role).
Which issue isn't funny? The whole song is funny, he's a comedy singer, it's supposed to be funny. First few comments are from Tenneessee folks and they find it funny.
I find NJ jokes hysterical. You should be able to laugh at yourself and not take everything so damn serious. Makes life so much more easy to deal with.
First time listening to him? This is very tame compared to his old stuff
Them hoo hoos.
Indeed, indeed.
I came here to watvh comedy. i ended up crying cause his songs are fucking lovely....
she has such a sexy voice.
Would it be troll-like to point out that B.B. King is from Mississippi? Hope not. Peetie Wheatstraw and Sleepy John Estes are, boringly enough-unless you like the blues-, both from Ripley, Tennessee
Either way, it's funny....let it go
And Courtney is gorgeous!
Al Gore isn't from TN either, but he was only referring to Franklin as to TN being the birthplace, the other two names are people that lived in TN. Shouldn't have to break down this lol
Al Gore wasn't born in Tennessee.
It's supposed to be funny. Stephen Lynch isn't in the running for a Grammy. Lighten up
He was a senator
Another person that didn't get it
Fulton5000LOL hell a lot better Al Gore out of there
That guitar sounds really pretty
GET ME OUT OF HERE
Love Casey's reactions
Chuck is basically a from Tennessee he can play the harmonica and the banjo
The Mountain Dew joke is more of a West Virginia thing
Mountain Dew was developed in Virginia, bottled in Tennessee, the dental problem called "Mountain Dew Mouth" I saw described in articles about Kentucky and basically all of Appalachia.
Tomasz Stachewicz you got that reversed... developed in Knoxville TN and bottled in Johnson City TN, purchased by company in Marion VA in the 60s that was bought out by PepsiCo
@ElamtheGreat Quite possible, thanks for clearing that up. My point being it's a drink originating from all around the Appalachians, not tied to a single state. It's even available here in Europe, although not very popular (people wanting that much sugar and a bit of caffeine just buy coke/pepsi).
I'm from NY so to me, it's all the same.
Mountian Dew was another name for moon shine. The soda was named for it. Who remembers the song about ‘drinkin that good ol mountain dew?’
ooooooooh come with me: where the meth labs are deep fried! wait...
Ryan Rozelle joke just went straight over your head
@PixelMaster Kira r/whoooosh
How much dick did she have to suck to get there
And her giant melons too
Being from Tennessee, this is the greatest thing I've ever heard.
I JUST MOVED TO NH
cool story.
And it has it’s meth and racists too.
YEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
Dude is spitting truth about my people. Tennessee is a great place to be from. About 2800 miles from, in my case...
at 1:50 you can see hobo Chuck just staring at the goods haha
I mean, who isn't?
everything apparently IS bigger down south
There's a lot to admire...
Yeah right...cant blame him ,those things are pretty serious
Lol I think he was just caught surprised Courtney called herself out as a jew✡️
dude Hobo Chuck is nutty
I'm from Indiana so...ditto.
I'm from Indiana but now live in TN and this song describes it oh so well.
They aren't talking about Memphis, huh? lmao!
They were when they mentioned MLK's assassination.
As a Tennessee native, I have a really hard time doing anything but laughing and agreeing with this song. I mean, I'd try to argue, but my toothless neighbor's rolling meth lab just exploded.
Dan Lee 😂😂😂😂😂
Freakin awesome! I was loughing my ass off. But i love that place! Cheers from Austria
Omg fucking classic. Lmao
This is no laughing matter. Please tell me he had a backup lab at his sister wife's place. Would hate to see a native Tennessean go without their meth for too long. Would be a real tragedy.
😂😂
Who is the woman.
Courtney Jaye
Thats stephen lynchs girlfriend .. They sound great singing together dont they.. I believe he would have made it big in music if he had chosen too.. When i think comedy and music lynch is #1 rodney carrington #2...
Ryan Kennedy Sorry to tell you this but..... They aren't dating.
why is Charlie not playing his banjo?
Nashville
I'm from the mountains of Tennessee and I love this song. There is some truth to it lol. But I love being mountain folk. The woods and waterfalls are beautiful. I am well traveled and still love this place.
who be the lady
Courtney Jaye
she's got some nice pipes....
zenigel: That's what you call them?
Well they transport milk,don't they?
Pervs LOL.
😂😂😂. this song though 😂😂
