[Chorus 1]
Goodnight Tennessee, go to sleep
Tomorrow it's back to the city for me
How lost can you be when Fourteenth Street
Is guiding me home to a white sand beach

[Chorus 2]
Goodnight Tennessee, the talking trees
Hover above while the red stars weep
The season was brief, wrapped in fleece
My roots they were weak, they could not grow deep

[Verse 1]
I shoulda been born in Brooklyn
But I missed my chance, I still got Berlin
I should have been born free back then
I was a late bloomin' kid at the orange curtain
Oh

[Chorus]
Goodnight Tennessee, happy deportee
It is hot, it is cold, it is bitter, it is sweet
But now I envy you and you envy me
A toast to us both, may the grass stay green

[Verse 2]
I can't miss a thing, freeze on three
Every story it is told by the luck and key
I can't miss a thing, freeze on three
All my souvenirs have become antiques
