lyrics

Goodbye Knoxville

There’s a pretty girl walking up Summit Hill
But she ain’t looking at me
She looks like money but there’s rags on me
Goodbye Knoxville, Tennessee

I heard a voice say “Get outta there, son…
This side of town’s no place to be
You’re only looking for trouble round here…”
Goodbye Knoxville, Tennessee

So I might go to Nashville where the honky tonks swing
Might go to Memphis ‘find a fallen King
Might go to Bristol
There’s a girl there waiting for me…

Crooked man on a crooked porch
Could be 1923
One blind eye, One eye dead on me
Goodbye Knoxville, Tennessee

So I might go to Nashville where the honky tonks swing
Might go to Memphis ‘find a fallen King
Might go to Bristol
There’s a girl there waiting for me…

Now there’s a Hillbilly poet
Checked in for the night
At a hotel on Gay Street

He took his last breath
Of his last night on earth
Goodbye Knoxville, Tennessee

So I might go to Nashville where the honky tonks swing
Might go to Memphis ‘find a fallen King
Might go to Bristol
There’s a girl there waiting for me…

Pretty girl walking up Summit Hill
Yeah, she’s looking at me…
I see your Daddy coming after me
Goodbye Knoxville, Tennessee…
