I've heard the beaches out in California Are the best that you can find And that that Colorado Rocky Mountain sunset Will blow your mind I've heard that nothing beats the Ferris wheel view Of that Galveston sky And nothing takes your breath away like Wyoming When wild horses run by And yeah that might be right But if you've never sank your toes into the muddy Mississippi bank And if you've never watched a Sunday morning sunrise over Pickwick Lake If you've never spent a weekend at Chickasaw You wouldn't understand Oh it might sound crazy But there's nowhere in this world I'd rather be than West Tennessee I've heard the bright lights of New York City Are a sight to see And that this time of year is awful pretty Up in Hot Springs And I've heard that Bourbon Street is jumping Down in New Orleans And that that boardwalk's really something Out in Myrtle Beach But right here is where I'll be If you've never seen the skyline of Memphis or took a walk down Beale And if you've never seen that Cadillac at Graceland where Elvis sat behind the wheel If you've never danced to Blue Suede Shoes in Jackson You wouldn't understand Oh it might sound crazy But there's nowhere else in this world I'd rather be than West Tennessee If you've never spent a Friday night in Bolivar at Music on the Square If you've never ate fried catfish in Savannah at the old Botel And if you've never kissed the lips of a Middleton princess You wouldn't understand Oh it might sound crazy But there's nowhere else in this world I'd rather be than West Tennessee West Tennessee West Tennessee
