A haunting western ballad, with a melancholy tune. One of the great Cindy Walker's composition's.

It was only me, just me and Tennessee, standing in the dust of the street He called for me to draw, I called the draw then saw him lyin’ still with blood round his feet Tennessee is gone and I can’t last too long, but I guess that’s a how it should be Cuz come but time to ride, we’ll ride out side by side, just me and Tennessee

It was always me, just me and Tennessee, through the rain, the dust, & the storms We rode the cattle trails, behind the doggies’ tails and we brought them through with no harm But this time a queen up in Abilene, made a fool of my pal and me I guess her smile, the wine, just made us loose our minds What fool men can be! What fool men can be!

It was always me, just me and Tennessee, the best friend I ever knew When times were good or lean, we shared our bunk and beans, we were just like brothers we two We stole each other’s girl from dodge to ol’ Nogales, and fought like cats on a rail But come to ride, we rode out side by side, less we were both in jail, Me and Tennessee, Me and Tennessee
