i have been a drifter for my whole life through
tried to start again in a place thats new
never ever found what i was looking for
time to head on home to Tennessee once more

had enough of roaming time for me to rest
back to all my roots the place i know the best
its been a long time now since ive been away
time to settle down this time i will stay.

drifting days are over all the roaming round
searhing for that something i just never found
back to all my folks in memphis tennesee
the only place i know thats home sweet home to me

had enough of roaming time for me to rest
back to all my roots the place i know the best
its been a long time now since ive been away
time to settle down this time i will stay.
