I kissed you 'cause
I've never been an angel
I learned to say hosannas on my knees
But they threw me out of
Sunday school when
I was nine
And the sisters said
I did just as
I pleasedNow even so
I try to be a good girl
It's only what
I want that makes me weak
I had no desire to be a child of sin
Then you went and pressed your whiskers to my cheek
Fi la lie lie
Fi la lie lee
Now let me go, my honey oh...
Back to Tennessee
It's beef steak when
I'm workin'
Whiskey when
I'm dryAnd sweet
Heaven when
I dieNow I've tried drinking rye and gamblin'
Dancing with damnation is a ball
But of all the little ways
I've found to hurt myself
Well, you might be my favorite one of all
Fi la lie lie
Fi la lie lee
Now let me go, my honey oh...
Back to Tennessee
It's beef steak when
I'm workin'
Whiskey when
I'm dryAnd sweet
Heaven when
I dieWhy can't
I go and live the
Life of Riley?
Why can't
I go back home to apple pie?'
Cause your affront to my virtue was a touch too much
But you left a little twinkle in my eye
Fi la lie lie
Fi la lie lee
Now let me go, my honey oh...
Back to Tennessee
It's beef steak when
I'm workin'
Whiskey when
I'm dryAnd sweet
Heaven when
I dieNow some will come confessin' of transgressions
Some will come confessin' of their love
You were there strumming on your gay guitar
You were tryin' to tell me something with your thumb
Fi la lie lie
Fi la lie lee
Now let me go, my honey oh...
Back to Tennessee
It's beef steak when
I'm workin'
Whiskey when
I'm dryAnd sweet
Heaven when
I dieIt's beef steak when
I'm workin'
Whiskey when
I'm drySweet
Heaven when
I dieIt's beef steak when
I'm workin'
Whiskey when
I'm drySweet
Heaven when
I die
