We woke up this morning in a Tulsa calaboose
They fed us brown beans for breakfast and they had to 
turn us loose
I didn't like that old sheriff and I wish I had told 
him so
What he don't know won't hurt me so come on buddy let's 
go
Let's go to Suddenly, Suddenly, Suddenly, Suddenly, 
Suddenly,
Suddenly, Suddenly, Suddenly, Tennessee

Three nights ago in Phoenix a lady bit off your thumb
But I really shouldn't call her no a lady causetook the 
damn thing and run
Then some old boy from Tucson threw the jukebox 
straight at me
And I'm really sorry it landed on the spot where your 
thumb used to be
It'll heal in Suddenly, Suddenly, Suddenly, Suddenly, 
Suddenly, Suddenly, Suddenly, 
Suddenly, Tennessee

I tell you something old beauty you look a terrible 
mess
It's time you took off your blue jeans and got yourself 
in a dress
And wash and comb that blond hair and jumped off this 
train with me
'cause we're just five minutes from talking to the 
folks in Suddenly
Talking about Suddenly, Suddenly, Suddenly, Suddenly, 
Suddenly, Suddenly, Suddenly, 
Suddenly, Tennessee
