i'm going down to lebanon tennessee
from where i stand it's as good a place as any
i don't know anybody there
and nobody knows me
there'll be a job in lebanon tennessee
i'll work on a farm i'll work in some factory
and i'll buy myself a home down there
you can get one pretty cheap
get off the bus on the border of town head in from the east
walk into a bar take a seat in the corner be a man of mystery
folks don't treat you mean in lebanon tennessee
but like a human being they'll take you in off the street
they'll bring you in their home down there
and give you something to eat
