Marty Robbins - Franklin Tennessee lyrics

rate me

Two years ago I left my home<br />

Thought I'd make it big but all I've done is wrong<br />

Planned some things that might impress the home folks<br />

After two long years I'm still broke<br />

<br />

Up and down the west coast I have been<br />

From Dego to Seattle and then back here again<br />

I'd like to get on board the bus and ride<br />

I can't go back home, I still got my pride<br />

<br />

Here I am in Frisco but my dreams keep takin' me<br />

Back home to Franklin Tenessee<br />

<br />

There's a place back there I kinda like<br />

'Bout ten miles from Franklin out on Wilson-five<br />

They don't know it but I've wrote and told them lies<br />

I said I'd made it big but I'm just gettin' by<br />

<br />

I recall when I left my home town<br />

I remember how I kinda put 'em down<br />

I even said the town was much too small for me<br />

And I'd never make it big in Franklin Tenessee<br />

<br />

Here I am in Frisco but my dreams keep takin' me<br />

Back home to Franklin Tenessee<br />

Back home to Franklin Tenessee
