There Ain’t No Beverly Hills in Tennessee

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I grew up in Tennessee, plowing that old rocky ground She had a job at the cafe just outside of town I met her when she was just eighteen, we married and settled down And all we had to start with was love on common ground [Verse 2] But the furrowed fields grew longer with each passing day And I began to feel her feel the weight of a change I saw her young heart fading, she needed more than me And my love couldn't hold her here in Tennessee [Chorus] There ain't no California gold in a smoky mountain stream There ain't no silver lining to lace a poor boy's dreams As she walked away, I was thinking someday she'd come on back to me But there ain't no Beverly Hills in Tennessee [Bridge] I buried my face in these old calloused hands Thinking on better days But I know deep inside this hillbilly heart There ain't one headed my way [Chorus] There ain't no California gold in a smoky mountain stream There ain't no silver lining to lace a poor boy's dreams As she walked away, I was thinking someday she'd come on back to me But there ain't no Beverly Hills in Tennessee [Outro] No, there ain't no Beverly Hills in Tennessee
