Franklin Limestone, always been my home

I was born in Nashville, the place I call my own

Where the mountains, and the rivers, and the valleys
E A D A
We were married, you and me
[Chorus]
D C#m Bm
We were both so happy just being together
E A D A
Like a possum in the wood
C#m Bm
So please forgive me if I forget to tell you
E A D A
What you mean to me

You were my driving wheel

We were both so happy just being together

Like a possum in the wood

Workin in a coal mine, slaving in the day time
A D A D
Lookin to the Good Lord for any peace of mind

The feeling if you left me on that hillside

Would break this heart of mine

We were both so happy just being together

Like a possum in the wood
