Back To Tennessee
Miley Cyrus Lyrics

Fancy cars and diamond rings
I have seen luxurious things, but they do not give me satisfaction.

I've seen all kinds of shiny things
I have had the privilege of witnessing anything expensive and shiny.

I should be feeling like a king
I should have felt like royalty because of my luxury lifestyle.

But lord I don't
But I do not feel that way despite my possessions.

Great big towns so full of users
Big cities are full of people who take advantage of you.

Make a million still a loser
Making a lot of money cannot fill the feeling of being a loser.

Some may bet on you to win
Some people may think you will succeed.

Most hope you don't
But the majority of people do not want you to win.

Livin' wild, ain't no mercy being free
Living recklessly without control has its consequences.

When it brings you to your knees
You can be pushed to your limits when you continue to live that way.

Can't help lying
It becomes difficult to tell the truth at some point.

I see the road now, I know just what I need
I have a clear understanding of what I need to do to reach where I want to be.

To find my way back to Tennessee
To return to a place where I feel content and at peace.

I was only seventeen
I was only a teenager at the time.

I left behind my beauty king
I abandoned the one I considered my true love.

I turned my back on everything
I walked away from anything that was part of my past.

And everyone
And everyone who had been a part of my life before.

Rooms with lots of pretty faces
I have been in rooms filled with attractive people.

Still don't fill the empty spaces
However, they do not fulfill the emptiness inside of me.

Wanderin' where amazing grace is
I am searching for hope and a miracle in my life.

There is none, no
Unfortunately, those things are nowhere to be found.

Now I know there's no comfort in this world
I have come to understand there is no real solace anywhere.

God I miss that hometown boy
I miss the boy I left behind in my hometown.

Wanna hold him
I want nothing more than to be with him.

I'm on the road now, I know just what I need
I am traveling towards what will fulfill me and make me happy.

To find my back to Tennessee
To return to a peaceful and content place in my life.

I'm going home now to Southern, its so sweet
I am heading back to my Southern home where I belong.

And find my way back to Tennessee
To rediscover myself and my true happiness by returning to Tennessee.

All this time I was chasing after dreams
I was pursuing something that was not real and would not bring true happiness.

It was right in front of me
What I really needed was there and reachable all along.

I was lost without him
I was incomplete and lost without the person I care about.

I'm on the road now, I know just what I need
I am finally heading towards what will give me true happiness and fulfillment.

To find my way back to Tennessee
To rediscover myself and my true happiness by returning to Tennessee.

I'm coming home now to Southern, its so sweet
I am returning to my Southern home where I belong.

And find my way back to you and me
To reconnect with the person who completes me and become a whole person again.

Find my way back to Tennessee
To return to a peaceful and content place in my life.
