Tennessee

Hank Williams, Jr.

Transposer:

Well it's late at night on this old turnpike And my heads spinning round and around It's a long long way from New York to Texas I've been through a million towns Well it's get off the bus and get on the stage The band and the boys and me Take me to Alabama Mississippi Montana They don't want me back in Tennessee Tennessee. how could you do this to me I gave you some of the best of my days Ain't no reason for me to stay Tennessee you took the life out of me What little money I made I either drank it up or I gave it away I've tried so long to sell my songs But Nashville wasn't the place All I got for my trouble was fighting mad And the door slammed in my face Tennessee. how could you do this to me I gave you some of the best of my days Ain't no reason for me to stay Tennessee you took the life out of me What little money I made I either drank it up or I gave it away (Instrumental) Tennessee. how could you do this to me I gave you some of the best of my days Ain't no reason for me to stay Tennessee you took the life out of me What little money I made I either drank it up or I gave it away

Cette chanson évoque le sentiment de désillusion et de perte du protagoniste face à ses rêves brisés. Il se remémore toutes les étapes de son parcours, passant par de nombreuses villes, mais se retrouve finalement déçu par Nashville, qui ne lui a pas apporté le succès espéré. Malgré les efforts pour faire entendre ses chansons, il ressent un vide immense et un manque de reconnaissance, tout en décrivant comment ses expériences à Tennessee ont eu un impact négatif sur sa vie. Le contexte se situe dans le monde de la musique country, où l'espoir de réussir peut rapidement se transformer en frustration. Ce récit fait écho à la réalité de nombreux artistes qui luttent pour se faire une place et, parfois, doivent faire face à des revers qui les amènent à questionner leur choix de carrière et leur avenir.
