The road is long and the price is so high To be what you think that you ought to be It seems like time just melts in my mind And I can’t find no place to run away from me I can feel your loneliness Come on, lay down by my side And I will sing to you a Tennessee lullaby Yes, I will sing to you a Tennessee lullaby If you lay in my arms I’ll sing you my rhymes I’ll satisfy your body and I’ll ease your troubled mind Oh you know it’s a one-night stand But sweet love will make us strong And I’ll be moving on, when the morning comes I can feel your loneliness Come on, lay down by my side And I will sing to you a Tennessee lullaby Yes, I will sing to you a Tennessee lullaby
