Lyrics
Heartbreak Tennessee
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There are things to do in Knoxville
There are things to do in Nashville
And Rock City is a place you oughta see
But if you want to visit my town
You won't find it on the road map
And I can't say much for Heartbreak Tennessee
I live in a house with wall to wall sorrow
On the corner of pain and misery
I'm the judge and the mayor and the chief of police
In the town of Heartbreak Tennessee
There are things to see in Memphis
And if you ever visit Nashville
You shouldn't miss the Grand Ole Opry
But if you like weird sensations
Like crying for recreation
Then you'll have a ball in Heartbreak Tennessee
Now I've got some buddies Joe Pain and Sam Teardrop
They're all I've got to keep me company
Smallest city in the nation we're the entire population
In the town of Heartbreak Tennessee
