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
