Transcript

I was riding down a lonely roadway down in Tennessee The time was nearly midnight, it was dark as it could be Dark as it could be When all at once I heard the sound of music from afar That good old country music on a fiddle and guitar Fiddle and guitar It was a Tennessee ghost, who we?

It was a Tennessee ghost A fiddle and an epic and like a thousand many more The strangest modern music you've ever heard before Mighty Man was he That ghost in the mountains We're down in Tennessee Bored on down the valley And suddenly I saw That giant hillbilly My soul was filled with awe

Soul was filled with awe One foot was in the valley One foot was on the hill A roar came down like thunder He was laughing fit to kill And to kill Ha ha ha It was the Tennessee coast.

It was the Tennessee coast. A fiddling and a picking like a thousand minimore. The strangest modern music you've ever heard. The night in man was he. That ghost in the mountains, we're down in Tennessee.
