I gotta get back to Tennessee for Christmas Tennessee is where I gotta be I gotta get back to Tennessee for Christmas ‘Caus my sweetheart’s waiting by that Tennessee Christmas tree I had layover in Tuscon Arizona Sleeping by the road in a sack Hitched a ride with a rover To Tulsa Oklahoma Never thought I’d find my way back Got into a ruckus With a cowboy in Nantucket I spent the night locked in the can I met a hustler from Miami On his way to Cincinnati Told me, ‘Son, you’re gonna need a better plan!’ Oh the road is just so lonesome darling So I keep singing my song ‘Caus I gotta make Christmas in sweet old Tennessee I gotta get back to Tennessee for Christmas Tennessee is where I gotta be I gotta get back to Tennessee for Christmas ‘Caus my sweetheart’s waiting by that Tennessee Christmas tree I caught a ride to San Diego Inside a winnebago It broke down on the 101 Now I’m sipping a Corona On my way to Pensacola Walking underneath the Tallahassee sun I tried to swim across the bayou And ran into a guy who Told me that he knew the way So now I'm eating jambalaya Saying prayers to my messiah Swimming circles out in Matagorda Bay Oh the road is just so lonesome darling, So I keep singing my song ‘Caus I gotta make Christmas in sweet old Tennessee I gotta get back to Tennessee for Christmas Tennessee is where i gotta be I gotta get back to Tennessee for Christmas ‘Caus my sweetheart’s waiting by that Tennessee Christmas tree

about

Department of Creative Affairs is proud to present their 2019 charity Christmas single, Tennessee Christmas. This boot-scootin' journey across the heartland of America tells the story of a vagabond and his misadventures as he tries to make it home in time for Christmas. It's a tip of the Stetson to legends of the Tennessee music scene like Dolly Parton, Roy Acuff and Kitty Wells.

The song is free to download and enjoy, however any money you contribute will be donated to the Lost Dogs' Home, who unfortunately are inundated with unwanted pets at this time of the year. Please dig deep and share the love.

The person who contributes the highest donation by 1st January 2020 will be on the receiving end of their very own copy of the single on glorious 7-inch vinyl.
